LISA MARIE MITCHELL Born May 29, 1976 Received her wings October 25, 2005 Every day I think of you, And what I miss. I focus on each detail of your face, Not able to complete the puzzle. Each piece alone and separate, Like the pieces of my heart. I hear your laughter, A rich tapestry of sound, The words, I love you , So often on your lips, Sweet music to my ears. I hear the way you said, MY Mummy! As if your heart would burst with love, As mine does every day, Except with sorrow. I feel your healing hugs, Arms round my neck, Head gently on my cheek, Where tears fall daily now. How can I survive in this abyss? This world of pain and loss? Where your absence is the greatest presence? Missing and loving you more than words can say, precious angel. Dad, Mum, Scott and Lauren
