Fare Thee Well, Auntie Donna Pennock Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

(This poem will be amended later on)

It was the day after Christmas, December 28,2016, you had
a heart attack. There was no lack of support. Your children
immediately called 911.

Your heart had stopped and was restarted at least a couple of times.
Your children (my first cousins on my deceased mother's side of our
family.) Decided to stop your life support.

You woke up and saw Jesus and your deceased husband Glen.
It is a reunion he has long awaited for.
I know my mother will be there to meet and greet you.
She has been long awaiting your arrival too.

Did you hear what she heard? Voices calling out her
name, and waiting for her! I think it happened
so suddenly, it took everyone by surprise.

I loved you Auntie Donna and am sorry you have died.
I have cried many tears. But my loss for you
and your children and grand children is very real.

I have to, 'put it in writing' to adequately
describe how I feel! Someday, when my time
has come to die- you will be awaiting me-
where the heavens touch the sky.

Goodbye and adieu and adios until we meet again
in God's heaven. Jesus Christ has welcomed you
into your heavenly home.
You will always be welcomed and never alone!

Your house you shared with your oldest son, Joe
has been sold by your youngest son, Jean.
The phone has been disconnected.
The personal property has been distributed.
And the last earthly goodbyes have been said.
