As she flew away, her wings whipped the air gently

She came on a quiet Sunday (May 19, 1946) but left on not such a quiet note. On April 7, 2012  DT Olowe was buried. A perfect example of what we should aspire to be.
She flew away serenely, never to be seen again. As her wings whipped the air gently; we the kids were supported by mortal men; those with the heart of gold.
On behalf of my siblings and extended family, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has offered support, love and a shoulder to wet with our tears. The good Lord shall be with you all.
