[Annie]

Yes she did.
A cute little bum with a pair of white feet tucked under it.
A great girl who worked out of the old Super 8 at the same time I did.
I am sobered by the knowledge that we will not see her beaming smile or hear her laugh anymore.
I woke up in the night with the thought that the funeral home ought to be filled
with anonymously-donated flowers…that she should not enter the world to come as austerely as she left this one.
She was always kind to everyone regardless of how they looked, or (in my case) their idiosyncrasies.
I will always remember her on her multi-coloured blanket out under the tree; a Joplinesque smile at the ready for everyone and anyone.
Who can understand the hardships of your life Des?
We are sad to hear of your passing.
