A Peace of Mind for Dr. D.

Dr. Desrosiers Associate Professor of Psychology at Barry University Jan. 29, 1964–Oct. 16, 2002

By Georges Bossous, Jr.

Delicate soul, gentle heart,
inspiring teacher, and loving
colleague, she used to be
called.

Every word from her mouth
either touched one’s heart or
appeased a troubled mind.

Soft and calm, she used
to bring joy and laughter
to her family, students and
colleagues.

Recollection of her smile
brings the warmth of the sun
that always shined in her eyes.

Overcome your fear, face the
world and become someone
special, she once said.

Sweet rhythms of her melodic
voice have assuaged the pain
of many broken hearts.

Indelible traces of her love
shall live in our hearts and
lead our path always.

Endless songs of love and
poetry shall be written in the
memory of that gentle being.

Remember that angel whose
life inspires love, compassion,
empathy, and serenity.

Soothing breeze from heaven,
please carry us through the
ocean of peaceful harmony.

This tribute was spoken at the Memorial Service, Oct. 17, 2003.
