As I know so many of us have
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
When someone leaves happiness wherever they go
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Their departure is immeasurably sad
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
The flowers we give her in honour of her life
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Will bloom in perpetual splendour
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
With a heart that shone brighter than her numerous accolades
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
She will only be treasured forever
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
She seemed to hold endless humility
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Her actions were communal and caring
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Any good that was to come her way
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
She would multiply so she could share it
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
In the millions of books she gifted worldwide

The foundations she would fund and create
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
In her humour, her sparkle, her advocacy
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Money was somehow the least of what she gave

She refused to shrink herself smaller
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
She wore true confidence in herself

It was clear in the way that she took every chance

To amplify and uplift someone else

In all of the people that we celebrate
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
The icons that we dearly love
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
The things that make them the people we admire
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Exist, also, in all of us
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
As people we learn from each other
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
From our first to our very last days
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Which is why we must be thankful and emulate those
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
Who set an example with their ways
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
So thank you, Miss Dolly, for everything.
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
If we follow your lead as we go
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
This world will be better in every way
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
As we are, thanks to your lovely soul
