the obituary was her only claim to fame

fame in the formal sense that is

unknown to those far away maybe

unknown to the majority, definitely

though A remembers the loving mother

B remembers the helpful daughter

C remembers the cool 3rd parent

D remembers the supportive friend

E remembers the shoulder to cry on

F remembers the mentor without order

G remembers the babysitter minus a fee

H remembers the lady who provided a meal for free

I remember the open door and the loving environment where I could be me

many who pass by contribute to this complete this list of A to Z

of what made her a star, a star now, literally
