Wanda Rodgers

October 26, 2003

37, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Survied by her loving family,

9y/o son, 20 y/o son,

and her family at Women in Distress

 

Our hearts feel the pain; our minds know the sorrow
She will never be seen again; No words from her tomorrow

She has gone to her new home; she has been given her wings
In our hearts she will still come; and we will hear her sing

Her pain is gone forever; yet her legacy will remain
Those who knew her; will always remember her name

By the laws of three; the wrong will be made right
And he will see; that there will be no light

The time will come when judgment falls
There is no running when he hears that call

She will open her wings and soar with the eagles
She will softly sing; As she is now our guardian angel
