ODE TO THE DEATH OF THE KING OF QUEEN HELENE

A tribute from dear friend, kindred spirit and colleague Robert Simmons – Luna

Perennial king to the queen, Helene.
He, a charming spirit, madame with boisterous life,
But not for a whole year did it take, to date,
And there after father made her wait.
Ron dared to stare, to keep his eyes on the prize, on the right foot
And still it took, another year, before they could commemorate
The feelings they share.

Brotherless brothers, and motherless daughters
Not only they, would feel Ron’s love.
All who were around
like reaching ripples, of a pond,
Were gifted, graced, way past beyond.

We remember…
Picnics at prospect park or
The Hamptons after dark, under the stars,
Plucking and stringing, singing with his guitar.
Bohemian songs of love and what’s right.
Or unquiet nights with Manny, on the oscelot, with merlot and candle light.

A father, lover, and brother, a son of father’s
an artist of life, all as one.
And the love we see today
I’m sure Ron would agree
Is a reflection of our hearts, without grieve,
The real we.

And now that he is in his father’s hall
We celebrate, fill up your glass, to his life…
A life who’s cup runneth over.

Helene will be holding a celebration of her husband Ron’s life this
weekend, at the UCLA conference center in Lake Arrowhead. Anyone who would like to show support for her and her family are welcomed to attend.
Services start at 3pm March 28th. In lieu of flowers, charitable donations are being accepted to the Botanica West trust, which will go to support other patients fighting disease not treatable with conventional medicine and preventative education.
