In Memory

Stories untold, a sad day unfolds, the truth we may never know-
Feelings run deep, dry eyes hard to keep, God please rest her soul-
Let me take you on a journey, not really sure where I should begin-
This may be a wild ride, written by next of kin-
Born Kathy Lee Hash on 6/18/57, but most knew her by the name of Lee-
I’m sure her friends out there would say she touched a lot of people’s hearts, oh Lord can’t you see what that woman been doing to me-
I know she leaves an imprint on people’s passions and desires-
Artistic ability runs deep, we pray her soul to keep, she was definitely the igniter of the fires-
Sometimes during hardship we may think life is not really Fair-
I’m sure Lilith would agree, the stage is set for grief, you can feel it in the air-
Tonight is not about death, but rather a celebration of what’s to come-
She would say karma runs deep, awaken from her sleep, a new life has begun-
A daughter, a sister, an aunt, and of course a loving friend-
Always willing to help the less fortunate, she was ride or die till the end-
Halloween was her day to shine, a master carver to say the least-
A family united, Ichabod Crane, a hot dog and chili feast-
Ascension to a new life, hopefully one with better days-
No more pain and suffering, health and prosperity in every way-
Some may ask the girls, how long till our souls get it right-
The colors between blue and violet, Lee moves on to the afterlife-
Somewhere out there a chime rings, blowing in the wind-
A dream catcher opens up, spirits run free, it’s the beginning and not the end-
Lee walked her own walk, paved her own way, if you knew her you would definitely say so-
Somewhere out there a new pup is being born, it could be Kismet or maybe Diego-
To some this may seem confusing, you have to focus on the lines in between-
If you really knew Lee from beginning to the end, you’ll know exactly what this means-
I still can’t believe it’s real, I know I have so much more to say-
As cliché as it sounds it always rings true, we all wish we had one more day-
I hope you know we love you, but a farewell we must forebode-
5/02/23 a new life will begin but this particular chapter comes to a close-
