Alice

celebration of life

I will not forget or lose you

dear friend, poet, mentor

your roots dig deep into

the Louisiana marsh

you wrote eloquently about your homeland

your family

the rich and the poor

the sea and the delta

the low country, the bayous

your passion traverses many boundaries

your spry wit dwells

in every poem and story you penned

your book "Below Sea Level"

reveals hidden treasures of NOLA

embellished by your unusual talent

your demise befalls ill-timed

as you had immensely more to articulate

A melancholy adieu

R.I.P Alice

A tribute to my dear friend

Doubtless a Louisiana legend, so sad when one loses an admired and loved friend, unexpected or not, leaves a void inside us but the fond memories of their brilliance always helps shine a light and expunge the gloom..

Beautiful tribute!!
