Marion Ramsey, best known for her role
As Hooks in Police Academy, with a sugar sweet soul.
But her cute little voice would grow loud and rough,

Red:  A Definition 

Primary and indispensable.
Intuitively felt as warm, never cold.
Romantic in its nature with body and depth.
Wafting sentience from a glass,
Willing drama to a bedroom.
Regaled as royalty by nature,
Often reduced by perception.
Best known and least understood.
Loyal, virtuous, the keeper of secrets,
The orator of life,
The measure of love....

To steal and blame (minorities)

Will be buried today
Now, her religion shows...

Among all there is a wholesome son.
His name, we feel pride in, Shauryan.
On 20 November was the jewel born.
So precious that all want him as a pawn
But parents not ready to give for scone.
Without looking at him there’s no dawn
Chess playing at different levels is on.
All are sure of his ability family to conn
In a perfect direction without any con.
He is the best known and virtuous icon
Wishing best for his overall solon....

(Dedicated to Darren McGavin who died February 25, 2006.)

You were a great actor, this is true.
You had many fans who miss you.
You were best known as the father in A Christmas story but now you're dead.
You'll still be remembered during the years ahead.
You guest starred in Murder she wrote and in Grace under fire.
You were one hell of a guy who was admired.
Saying goodbye wasn't an easy thing to do.
People will always love you....
