Lepo Vas pozdravljam

Nepozabni Anki Žakelj v slovo
Nikdar se nisi bala dela:
si pisala, prevajala, razstavljala,
popravke delala, prepevala vesela.
Potem Te vest je kakor strela z jasnega zadela,
da boš odtlej na smrt obsojena trpela
in bo bolezen kruta prezgodaj Ti življenje vzela.
A tudi to usodo Bogu vdana si sprejela
in tiho, vdano si trpela
vse dni, dokler Te veÄnost ni objela.
Zdaj Te pozravlja veÄna domovina:
pokojna AnžiÄeva, Žakljeva družina,
slovenskih rajnih pevcev nežno petje,
poljan nebeÅ¡kih veÄno cvetje.
TrpeÄi, bolni prej siroti
Bog vse poplaÄa v ljubezni Svoji in dobroti.
Mi pa hvaležni smo Ti, Anka draga,
za zgled, kako ponižna vdanost Bogu
vse preskušnje in trpljenje zmaga,
kako, ko zdravi smo,
veselo, plodno treba je živeti,
pomagati, kjer moremo, se veseliti in veselo peti,
a Äe je treba, trpljenja križ objeti,
trpeti in v hvaležnosti za vse umreti.
Zahvaljena zdaj, Anka, spet in spet
za vse in za Tvoj svetli zgled!
Naj Bog, ki je vse sreÄe vir,
pokloni veÄno sreÄo Ti in veÄni mir!

From: Ann Zakelj
Subject: My Ultimate Trip
With trepidation on my lips, I left the earthly vale of tears today. Myultimate trip, after a short human lifetime, turned into a promised everlastingheavenly stay, yearned for by my soul, and earned by my months of humansuff ering. You will fi nd this hard to accept, as it was for me, before my lastjourney.Please do not cry for me. The Creator of us all needed a feisty, computersavvy younger angel, to teach the older Slovenian souls the fi ne art of onlinecommunication, and apparently I was a perfect fi t, since I could communicatein three languages, English, Slovenian and “computereseâ€.At this heavenly location, there is no distinction between political partiesand NO FAKE NEWS. Everyone gets along just fi ne, and best of all, willdo so for eternity.I am deeply thankful for your love, my dear earthly family and friends.I will intercede for you with The Almighty for eternity, so you too will livea life of devotion to your family, friends, and above all, to your country, sowhen it is time for you to make the ultimate trip, it will be to the promisedeverlasting heavenly stay.
All my love, Anka
