After submitting the below poem to the Montreal Star and then the Montreal Gazette for 29 years, had to miss the 30th year. Reason, they had my ad weeks before and called me yesterday to tell me they needed. $131.00 cash/credit credit card to submit the ad. First time in 30 years. Guess they really need the cash..(ya right, as if)
Barbra Jayne Worsley
We all miss your cheerful smile, Barbra
Our memories of you will never fade away
You held the love that was offered
and the friendship in our heart
What you gave was much more precious
You gave us a brand new start
For awhile we lost our answers
And we said what should be said
Then there were others trying to show us
To take their way instead
But you listened and you touched us
with your body and your mind
And you saw in us the person
That we almost left behind
Though you are no longer with us
And our bodies are apart
The memories of your ways
Will Always be in our heart
Oct. 21, 1964 --Oct 21, 1974
