Rays of hope do glow from her verses and

*I consider Carolyn Devonshire as a mentor.  God be praised and thanked for her life and talent she shared with us through the PS. Likewise, I thank Carolyn for being an influence to my poetic endeavour.

Beata, This is a fine tribute poem for Carolyn. The time of a life grew short all too soon for many to say their goodbyes. A prayer from one so devout and kind hearted means more in these times. -Richard
