Poetic Obituaries: Shannon Tavarez, the 11-year-old Broadway singer

who died of leukemia last week, said goodbye to friends and family in her own words at a heartbreaking funeral service in New York on Monday.

"We are happy and sometimes sad. It always hurts to go. But we do start a new beginning, so I bid you goodbye," Tavarez said in a videotaped poem, her white casket draped with flowers nearby, according to NY1.
