Annilow (AKA Ann Dunn Aldrich)
November 11, 1942 - October 9, 2009


That we are family
is a given
Also given
is that despite
surface arguments
we love each other

We each bring to the potluck dinner
ourselves, our histories, our talents
our kindnesses, our caring
And the circle rounds back again
against itself

I have loved you all
and know I'm loved
Never forget that
As we weep at the empty
place at the table

Today, we remember that
soul who was so alive
and so interested
So caring

Peace, Anni, as you go with God
And traveling mercies. . . .
