Throughout her life she touched all who knew her with her many kindnesses and her love of poetry. She will be missed by us all.
I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils:
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bless of solitude:
And when my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
