Eulogy Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

With heavy hearts we are gathered here today
Goodbye is the hardest word of all to say
So many people touched by her life
So much now lost, a daughter, sister and wife

Above all she was a cherished friend
Giving her love freely until the end
A perfect person we know she was not
Flawed but true, we saw what we got

As we mourn on this day it gives us comfort to know
She did not fear death, in peace she let go
Her memory we keep and cherish with pride
We remember the joy and forget the tears cried

No light in this world ever truly dies
Destined to return with a new set of eyes
We know she will come back with wings made of gold
A life that is new and a soul that is old

As we lay her body down for eternal sleep
Our voices become too shaky to speak
With her smile forever in our mind
We carry on with this life unkind

We believe that one day we will meet again
Until then we say goodbye dear friend.
