Everytime I see a picture of her my first thought is "God she is so beautiful."

For my Auntie Margaret (age 100), my father's eldest sister and the Grand Matriarch who lead our family for all these years after my grandparents passed. I still see her crisply walking out in front of the crowd of all of my aunts and uncles at McCarran airport on the occasion of my father's 71st birthday, nearly 11 years ago. This is for Auntie Margaret and what we came to call "The Joy L** Family", with all my love, respect and admiration. Rest in peace, Auntie Margaret.

Emily -- Elton John

The church bells ring out morning glory
When summer bends to the winter's rage
Emily walks through the cemetery
Passed a dog in an unmarked grave
The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging
Talks to her sisters in the ground
I saw a lie in the mirror this morning
I heard a prophesy all around

And Emily they come and go
The shadows and the distant sounds
But Emily don't be afraid
When the weight of angels weighs you down

Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight's the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends aboard the evening
Canary sings to an empty room

And Emily they come and go
The shadows and the distant sounds
But Emily don't be afraid
When the weight of angels weighs you down
