In memory of My cousin Alyssa Marie Fisher who tragically died in a car accident January 29, 2003. I made this Album for my aunt to have a place to journal her feelings.
Page 1 is a poem I thought was very fitting to be the opening page. Page 2 is the same as every left hand side page of the album. It is a tag that my aunt can slide out to journal on and slides back in the pocket.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The last page is a vellum overlay with a poem that Aly's friend wrote to be read at her funeral and is also on her headstone. It is on top of the photo that was used for her obituary.
The poem reads:
~ GLORIOUS SOUL ~
Like the sweetness of life we taste in the air
We see a magnificent smile with summer golden hair
A pleasure not able to be measured
We received from this stare
Her soul is one to be admired
Her soul is one to be desired
My soul is one, that she inspired
Whether friend, daughter, sister, or lover
Her beauty and spirit, it shall hover
Upon our world, like a blanket we've covered
With intentions so bright, not to be matched by another
Whether felicity of melancholy, whatever the case
We find an enchanting soul, with comforting grace
Like the compassionate sun, resting upon our face
A feeling now being spread throughout a majestic place
Every minute we spent, I take as a memento
These glorious souls in our lives are essential
For we will share with her again in time
It is eventual
For the birds still sing, the rivers still flow
As we console, please help us to grow
Help us to know, and help us to show
The elegant nature, that was shared with us
By this Glorious Soul
