Young glorious child,
turns straight "A" student.
Wise choices, not wild,
her actions proved prudent.
Pillar of the community,
earned her status and fame.
Some unspoken immunity,
to protect her good name.
The gala was planned,
to honor her achievement.
The party was canned,
in lieu of bereavement.
A mother of two, perfect wife,
addiction had cruelly stolen her life.
