It is always a sad <br />when you hear of someone passing, <br />especially when that passing is of a friend. <br />There are never enough right words to say <br />as the hurt always goes too deep. <br />Our hearts go out to her family <br />whom we hold out arms to. <br />Mary was loved by many <br />not only for her poetry, <br />but also as a person <br />and the friendship that she gave. <br />She is out of pain now <br />and in God‘s loving arms forever more, <br />but that does not distract the sorrow <br />each and everyone of us feel. <br />May you rest in peace <br />dear sister and friend. <br /> <br /> <br />27 January 2008.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-mary-wismer/
