"R.I.P. Remembering Ralf"

Prologue
True inspiration

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

A lovely poet and friend has bid this world adieu.

A very kind and sweet lady who offered encouraging reviews.

Ralf was such a beautiful addition to Fan Story. We will miss her so much right here.

She was a kind and gentle soul with character traits that are rare.

May you Rest In Peace sweet lady I know I've only known you a short time.

Long enough you made a lasting impression and you were an inspiration with your rhymes.

Author Notes The news of Ralphs passing really saddened me. Even though I have only known her a short time. I felt like I knew her longer and my heart sank with the news.

Prologue
R.I.P. Remembering Ralf

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

A shining light
has left this world
but still resides
within our hearts.

Ralf was someone
very special
to many friends
on FanStory.

Her talent soared
through first-rate posts
describing life
as she lived it.

She will be missed
as she abides
in Love's bright realm
where angels sing.

Her gentle smile
will always be
an uplifting
sweet memory.

Author Notes Ralf was a wonderful writer and friend.

I hope readers will add a page to the book for her family to read. -- Just click below where it says ADD CHAPTER. Thank you!

Chapter 2
I Will See You There

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

This is not the end, dear friend, it is a new beginning; but how I will miss your smiling face, and sweet presence here below. We talked about it all, from politics to God, and reminded ourselves of a faith so firmly set. We hoped for a special walk, someday, in the place of butterflies; a perfect world we called our heav'nly home. I will not say adieu, for I am not far behind. Eternity is ours, you see, and our stroll, a guarantee.

Chapter 3
A Truly Kind Soul

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

I felt your kindness in your fine reviews,
You were a very sweet and gentle soul.
And now you've travelled on a final cruise
and from there headed for your Heaven's stroll.

***

True kindness and finesse are hard to find,
I liked your subtlety and gentle touch.
You had a polished and expanded mind,
Dear Ralf, this site will miss you very much...

Author Notes I am deeply saddened by the passing of Raffaelina Lowcock (she called herself Ralf). I didn't know her too long but she touched my heart with her gentle and kind nature. She was a great reviewer and I enjoyed her writing.

RIP, dear Ralf, we will miss you, always...

Chapter 5
Tribute to Ralf

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

I heard that you have passed away,
but yet I know joy's there to stay,
Upon your head the sun shines warm,
but way above the wind and storm.

I know you dwell where angels are,
beyond all trouble moon or star.
Before your Saviour face to face,
embrace the source of love and grace.

We'll miss you Ralf, while we are here,
we'll celebrate, yet shed a tear.
You are a writer of renown,
but now you wear a scribal crown.

R.Owen, 5/3/2022

Author Notes Farewell for now Ralf, till we meet again in His presence.

Blessed forever. Roy Owen

Thanks for reading.

Chapter 6
~ Dear Ralf ~

By Joanne Gill-Maddick

Author Note:

~ In Memory of Raffaelina Lowcock ~

The angels saw Ralf needed them,
so hand-in-hand led her to Him.
They soared above the darkened sky,
no tears from her, though some did cry.

She's free from pain forevermore,
with fam'ly now who've passed before.
Though we on Earth feel so bereft,
we'll read her work that she has left.

The time will come when we can smile ~
her mem'ries live ~ unique in style.
