A writer.
Once met never forgotten. Touched the lives of many Lived to help others Inspired and enriched us all A rare and magnificent jewel Was able to accomplish so much in such a short life. Esther, Alan, and Mac Robert "Like glass marbles, I was formed by my fires." Mona Daniella 
Mona Daniella was quietly distinguished.
She was person of exquisite sensitivity and sensibility. Mona was truly outstanding and gifted with a towering mind and unquenchable thirst for learning coupled with an unending desire to do acts of kindness for those who needed help. Lyrics of a waltz that Bill Evans, the famous Jazz pianist, wrote for his niece, who was like his daughter (Waltz for Debby)
"In her own sweet world, Populated by dolls and stuffed animals And a prince and a white little bear Lives my favorite girl, Unaware of the worried frowns That we weary grown ups all wear In the sun she dances to silent music, Songs that are spun of gold Somewhere in her little head Then one day all too soon She'll grow up and she'll leave her dolls And her prince and her silly old bear When she goes they will cry As she whispers "Good-bye." They will miss her I know... But then so-will-I..." Mona loved listening to Bill Evans' recordings while growing up. The album with this song was deemed by the Library of Congress to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" and added to the United States National Recording Registry for the year 2009. |
