Hello darkness …
my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a
vision softly
in creeping,
Left its
seeds while
I was sleeping,
and the vision
that was planted
in my brain
still remains...
within
the
sound of silence
WHY MUST A
SOUL
SO GENTLE AND KIND
BE TAKEN AWAY
SO YOUNG?
WHY MUST A
SPIRIT
JUST ABOUT
TO COME OUT
BE SNUFFED OF ITS LIFE?
DID SHE DESERVE
TO DIE
SO
SUDDENLY?
WHAT
ABOUT
HER
DREAMS?
ONE
OF THEM.
STORY
FORGET.

Let us all remember Eeka as…
The Simple Girl
The Hearty Eater
Eating her favorite tempura
She draws well…
She plays the guitar and sings well
She is that meek girl…
quiet but has a lot running on her mind all the time…
She is happy
She has the gift of making everyone feel loved…
With her famous hugs..
her comforting words…
and her reassuring smile…
Lori Chamorro,former SunLife agent,
wrote the following poemfor Eeka
upon hearing the shocking news about her
demise.
TO ZULAIKA,AN ANGEL PASSING BY
(Oct 31,1992-Aug 16,2008)
You stood beside me, just a breath away –A cuddly little girl, a daughter I pined for
but could never have… Your fair, almost luminous face with black,
gentle Oriental eyes
Calmed the frenzied August Champion air
With such loveliness and tenderness,Refreshing, cool waters from a tranquil sea Seemed to kiss and wrap me In the peak of a scorching summer day.
You sat beside your mom, no word, no sigh.A quiet spirit – unobtrusive yet captivating.Your short, shiny black hair, Korean bangs
Carefully falling on your foreheadFramed and set off your porcelain-white
innocent face.Your Nanny beckoned and you had to say good-bye.
So I waved at you and you waved backwith a faint, shy smile.
I half-whispered to myself:There’s an angel passing by
Many frenzied Augusts came and wentAnd life’s tricky waters, with their joys
and tears,Splashed and faded faces and names.
But on a day this August, you suddenly came back to me
From fragments of stories and snapshots pieced together,
Tita Lori ChamorroLos Angeles, California
Memories of Eeka in 1995-1996
You stood there – this time, a beautiful fusion
Of your Dad’s gentle spiritAnd your Mom’s fearless and
restless soul.Your Nanny beckoned and you had
to say good-bye.So, I waved at you again and you
waved back witha faint, shy smile.
Again, I half-whispered to myself:There’s an angel passing by
For
the
BREATH OF FRESH AIR
And the
RAY OF SUNSHINE
WE THANK THE LORD
FOR , OUR
BORROWED ANGEL
At this point, Kyla will give you a song renditionfor EEKA
Following are the lyrics of her song “Borrowed Angels”
BORROWED ANGELS
They shine a little brighter, they feel a little more They touch your life in ways no one has ever done before
They love a little stronger, they live to give their bestThey make our lives so blest, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful I heard someone say…
There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life They come along, into this world, and make this world
bright But they can't stay forever cause they're heaven sent And sometimes, heaven needs them back again
They reach a little deeper, they see what's in your soul
And even when they leave, you know, you'll never let them go The world's a little richer, just cause they came along
Their love goes on and on. So why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful.
I heard someone say–
There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright They can't stay forever, cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again
How else can you explain why they're here And not here to stay? I believe there must be, must be Borrowed Angels here in this life They come along, into this world, and make this world
bright But they can't stay forever, cause they’re heaven sent
And sometimes heaven needs them back again And sometimes heaven needs them back again
THE END
