In Memory Of

But for a Small Moment

Tragedy falls, and takes what cannot be replaced:
Time, moments, milestones,
Togetherness.

Darkest clouds of trouble, a peace destroyed.
Suddenly, senselessly,
Publicly.

Yet night briefly yields, and rays
of love uncommon shine.
Broken hearts together,
United.
Not to supplant, but to illuminate
a journey blessed by grace.
Deeply etched, always
Remembered.

Our truest promise, vitally renewed in her:
To live and love and strive.
Until joyfully reunited, a family
Forever.

Written for Alaina Petty by anonymous.

Dedicated to each of the 17 families.
