In the poem titled The Old Soul, the kids described their mom as an icon, role model, and superhero. Priscilla read the profound piece that took the audience and mourners back in time to when Lisa Marie was born. The poem went on, “She was delicate but was filled with life. She always knew she wouldn’t be here too long. Childhood passes by with a glimpse of her green eye. She then grew a family of her own.’
Survivor’s Guilt
The poem soon veered into a different path as it delved into Lisa Marie’s deep pain of losing her son. The art piece described her pain as “survivor’s guilt,” and she carried it around with her broken heart. In all the twins wrote about their mom’s tragic moments and how she will be greatly missed.
