Too Soon

She was smart, active and always had a list.

She was never satisfied with “just ok” –

Pursue excellence and chase it hard.

Keep going until you get there…She never quit.

Her laugh would light up a room.

She could out-think and outwit nearly anyone.

She was a wonderful teacher, mentor and friend.

Her ping-pong skills were legendary!

I miss her…miss her…miss her.

She was a beacon in the night –

A shining light in this world of ours.

Mom…you are gone too soon.

Happy Birthday, Al.
