A TRIBUTE OF LOVE FROM GRAND-DAUGHTER
ANGEL
by Dahlia Fernandes
I can remember
You so clearly
So many memories
Rush right through me
Your kindness, your heart
Your belief in prayer,
Your smile, your laugh,
All showed that you cared
The peace in your voice
Every time we would call,
Your strength to live
Left a mark upon us all
You will always hold
This place in our heart
Your grace and your beauty
We felt though miles apart
You showed us all
The magnitude of Love,
You were my angel from afar
Now my angel from above.

God bless.
Very sweet!!! An angel indeed!!! Love and God bless. Reggie and Cicy.
Apt and precise, your beautiful verse says it all about your Grandma Benedicta.
The origin and meaning of this rare and unique Latin name Benedicta is 'Blessed'. We can proudly say that in reality your Grandma, blessed as she was with five children and 11 grandchildren, she lived up to her name by always blessing them, especially on the conclusion of our recitation of Holy Rosary in the evening, and unfailingly also when we said our sad goodbye before we left.
Dahlia, I'm sure you'll be doubly blessed too, all the more because you carry her name forward by having 'Benedicta' as your middle name.
Love.
Dad
This is such a beautiful tribute to Mum, love you for it.
