Dear Editor,

The following is a poem in memory of Juli-Anna.

A precious angel born to a world of pain.

Only to travel on this Earth for but a short time.

Never to be heard by humanity.

Her deepest longings and most beautiful gifts never to be realized.

To bear witness to the darkness of the world.

To experience first hand the ultimate suffering of the dark side of life.

Eventually to be swallowed up by the darkness.

Too much for such a pure and loving soul, the forces too strong to be endured.

She gave a noble fight for such a tender warrior of the light.

Let her memory bring forth in society the light that shone so brightly in her soul.

Stand up, pay attention, learn from the story of her life.

Ensure that it brings forth a new awareness of the pain that is so prevalent in our midst.

Strong warriors of the light come awake, join, shine brightly for all to see.

Humanity yearns to be loved.

In her honor,

Lori McKinney,

Benton
