Our precious Booshe….
Her aura is a coat of many colors and her favorite is rainbow... She was known for her beautiful cat eyes. A carefree spirit with a sense of style and she wore her long flowing hair in a ponytail. Marilyn’s love for nature showed through by the numerous pets she kept and adopted any animal that needed love…. Her cats, dogs, ducklings, budgies, her farm.
Marilyn is beautiful….
Our dear mother, sister, aunt, niece, grand-daughter- our Booshe…

Perhaps they are not stars
But rather openings in heaven
Where the love of our lost ones
Pours though and shines down upon us
To let us know they are happy…
Don’t cry for me. I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay.
Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong.
I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.
Don’t cry for me. It’s just my time,
but I will see you someday on the other side.
Don’t cry for me. I am not alone.
The angels are with me to welcome me home.
Don’t cry for me, for I have n fear.
All my pain is gone, and Creator took my tears.
Don’t cry for me. This is not the end.
I’ll be waiting her for you when we meet again.
