For Gill

When you walked into a room,
One’s heart did skip a beat.
Because what you said next,
Could sometimes have me falling off my seat.

Your smile lit up a room.
Your whisper was like a stereo on loud.
But no matter what life’s troubles,
You always had a smile for the crowd.

You worked from dawn till dusk,
To get your job done well.
Because your team was counting on you,
And never heard you yell.

You were the person we could depend on,
To be a friend, a colleague, a pal.
You were trustworthy through and through,
A one off friendly gal.

While you were a hurricane in life,
And your tidiness… not the best.
You always pulled a rabbit out of the hat,
When life put you to the test.

You will be forever missed Gilly jelly bean,
By your team, your family and your friends.
You were taken far to soon.
But your memory and laughter never ends.
