Poem for Lola Natz
I thank the Lord for the chance
of saying I love you for the last time
I heard your reassuring voice
That everything will be fine.
As I learn of your passing, Lola Natz who is so dear,
I grieve for your loss.
I cried
And I sob. It is so much to endure…
Eventually, I make peace of myself
that you are truly gone and will never return.
I know you are happy now
with the Lord in his arms.

My last picture together with my dear grandmother, Mama Natz. I know you have lived 93 beautiful years of your beautiful life. Your passing has caused us all unbearable pain and sorrow. Thank you for everything. Rest assured your legacy will long live forever! I love you so much and forever you will be in our hearts.
