------------- The Butterfly’s Legacy ----------- A soul so pure, a heart so kind,
A butterfly’s essence, now enshrined,
In every gentle flutter of wings,
The beauty of your spirit sings,
A beacon of hope, in times of despair,
A loving presence, always there,
The wind beneath our fragile wings,
A melody of love, your memory brings,
Through every storm, you held us near,
In your cocoon, no need to fear,
A great person, a soul so rare,
A butterfly’s touch, forever we’ll wear. --------------------------------------------------------- A Memorial Service honoring Judith’s life will be held at a later date.
