This poem I was giveing to me from a good friend, I thank you for it.

Sweet Mahalia, my beloved child, so special to me, you were such a
shining light, You held what the future could be, you meant so much to
me. Your heart and spirit so pure, only you could shine so unselfishly,
You always tried, you never failed, you always gave your all Your bright
smile and friendly spirit brought us all such joy. Your smile, your
laugh, your giving
nature. Was a beacon to us all I will never forget you. Forever blessed
to have known you, you were our shining light, We will always hold your
memory to us very tight. Thank you for our time together, taken all too
soonMy darling, Mahalia we love you.

My dear daughter your memory will always be with me, your family and the
Arboreals. We will always love you were ever your soul me be
