Likamva possessed a spirit that was undeniably infectious. Her mischievous nature and playful demeanor brought laughter, love, and warmth to those around her, touching our lives in countless ways. Today, we remember that one-of-a-kind soul, a soul that danced like wildfire and brought out the very best in all of us.
As we remember Likamva, I am reminded of Dani and Lizzy's beautiful song, "Dancing in the Sky," which so closely mirrors the profound impact she had on all our lives:
"Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free, like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?"
Just as the song questions, we too may find ourselves wondering where Likamva is now. We may consider the heavens, where she remains free and at peace, her light shining even brighter than the sun, her laughter causing the stars to twinkle ever more brilliantly.
Likamva will be remembered for all the love and happiness she poured into our lives. The true essence of her life was laughter, love, and joy.
We come together today to not only grieve our loss but to also celebrate the life of a truly extraordinary person, one who left a lasting impact on each heart she touched.
Likamva, in our hearts you shall sing and dance forever. May you continue to inspire us to relish life, find beauty in each day, and keep alive the laughter that was so uniquely yours.
As the song continues:
"We hope you're dancing in the sky,
And we hope you're singing in the angel's choir.
And we hope the angels know what they have,
We bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived."
Likamva, we hope that wherever you are now, your laughter echoes through eternity, your radiance shining perpetually, and your dance never-ending. We will cherish the memories we shared with you and let your spirit live on in our hearts.
