tenuous life

life and death
that's a pretty tenuous relationship

rachel
sweet smiley
daughter mom
artistic, thoughtful, curly
fought a short battle
with might and dignity
with depth and sincerity, pointing to a creator
while the world would be swallowed up in anger
finally resting

to the two little girls and husband and family left behind
let them be enveloped by the same creator who gave her
supernatural wisdom and strength and perspective
let them receive all the comfort and care they need
and may their memories run long and deep of this beautiful woman
who lived a full (though tenuous in human terms years-wise) life
that brought light and love

enjoy true light and love forever
