| In loving memory of Jessica Lynn Mancheski... |
| Elaborate being, Big, gorgeous eyes seeing, All the possibilities around you. Ever present smile. Loving all the while Everywhere, friends surrounded you. Treasured blessing. Dipped your toe in, testing Using your precious life to the full extent. Loving daughter, Kid Sister, source of laughter, A gem to your family, members of others as well. Cherished memories, I smile looking back on all our old activities, From riding the bus to hacky sack and euchre during the choir final. Sense of humor. Sharp wit and joking with others, There was never a dull moment around you. Intelligent Youth Knowing the answer and curious as a sleuth You always knew just what to do or say. Tragedy. Now the laughter fades, In tears we all wade, for you were taken away. Lost dreams. Unfinished tasks, plans torn at the seams. Moving prematurely down the isle in black, instead of white. Stolen Opportunity, I see your mother crying in agony There�s no way anyone could console her, your friends, or me. Beautiful Angel, They�ve taken you away, lowered you down. You soar above, white as a dove, remembered with love, and deeply missed. |
