In Memory Of A Dear Friend Deanna
Geary
Deanna......
While I was busy going about my
life,
God quietly called you away,
And I'm sure you heard my heart
break
When I learned of your passing today.
Dedicated To Our Friend
Deanna Geary: May 1/38
November 17/04.
Your voice was weak and feeble,
As you knocked
on Heaven's door,
Only God and all His Angels,
Knew the burden you had
bore.
As cancer struck to take it's toll,
You reached
deep within your heart,
Preparing yourself for the war ahead,
The long
battle was about to start.
Weapons you chose were courage and
hope,
Determination and a will made of steel,
And even on days you could
barely breathe,
The enemy knew your strength was for real.
In spite of frailness and long sleepless
nights,
To your friends you gave all that you had,
With love and
compassion always foremost,
Never once complaining of the bad.
Many times you had put your feelings on
hold,
Placing others far ahead of your own,
Your great sense of humor you
never did lose,
Even though you were confined to your home.
You spent many hours devoting your time,
Toward
causes in which you believe,
You wanted to contribute all that you
could,
Before you knew it was your time to leave.
You faced loneliness and hardships,
While on
earth you walked with sorrow,
Your strength has set great examples,
Now
from your page we must borrow.
In constant pain you remained grateful,
For the
unfortunate you always spoke,
You have spread your days of sunshine,
Your
spirit could not be broke.
