Bitter Sweet Goodbyes

For Mrs. Doris Jones

Today our hearts are heavy,
yet they carry love so deep,
We gather in remembrance,
and in memory we weep.

Your laughter filled the silence,
your wisdom lit our way,
A gentle hand, a steady voice,
a light that could not sway.

It’s bitter now to let you go,
to see this chapter close,
But sweet to know you rest in peace,
where no more sorrow grows.

We’ll hold you in the quiet,
in stories, prayers, and song,
Though parted here upon the earth,
in spirit, you live on.

The tears we shed are honest,
they honor all you gave,
The love, the lessons, the steadfast strength,
that time can never waive.

So, farewell, dearest Doris,
our souls must say goodbye,
But heaven gained an angel,
and love will never die.

Bittersweet this moment feels,
as we lay you to your rest,
For though we grieve, we celebrate—
a life so richly blessed.
