Update On Joanne

Dearest Jo

This pit in my stomach just won’t go away,
I think of you constantly throughout the day.
I knew that your loss would cause me some pain,
But it breaks my heart that I won’t see you again.

When I look at Dylan, Darcy and Dean,
I SEE your smile & my driveways not clean.
I will need a shovel for the next little while,
But for now I find comfort from an angel with style.

You were the friend everyone hoped to obtain,
The kind gentle spirit who was filled with such pain,
Yet time and again, it was compassion you brought,
My friend I will miss you, and the lessons you taught.

Not just to your students, but to each one of us,
On how to be tender, to not make a fuss.
I will miss you Joanne, but I find comfort today,
That you will be waiting, when I see you some day.

Love you,
Max
