A Poem From Her Sisters & Brothers 
Although we cry and stand grief stricken by your death. 
We promise not to forget the loving memories you gave. 
But still we miss you so very much our sister dear. 
And your caring words we once long to hear. 
Our hearts only solace is one day. 
We will see you as before. 
Beckoning us to come join you. 
On that white distant shore. 
Sis. Freda Radford leaves her bright smile and special dance for 
her niece & caregiver Roxanne McKever.
