Family gathers
In celebration and grief.
Time to say “Good-bye”
Remembering special moments.
Time to cherish
Each others precious memories.
Family gathers
In reluctance and prayers.
Time to joyously
Tell the family stories.
Time to laugh and chuckle
One last time remembering together.

Written in memory of Gene Kalney. Gene was the father to my daughter-in-law. He was a very intelligent and driven man. He was loved and cherished.
