Memorial Poem for Astronaut Dr Janice Voss
Dear Linda
please feel free to use this on the Memorial Cards and to read at the Service.
So long as my name is on the bottom in small print it is fine.
I don't know why the email is typing like this. I did not change to Plain Text as formatting would be lost.
Sincere Condolences
Kyi May

Janice, I wish I had met you/
before the cancer got you./
I only ever met two other/
Astronauts in my life. One man and one woman/
about five feet tall./
You loved science fiction and square dancing./
Look down on us from your last/
Circling of the Earth./
Know, we miss you./
