Yesterday you were with us so near, We walked the path of life we feared. Today we hold you in our thoughts. We forget the pain that tragedy has brought. Tomorrow we will never forget The memory of our loving friends, In time of the sorrow our hearts will mend. And then thereafter we'll Perhaps meet again, A time of happiness that will never end. - Chris D'Amico -(Quote from 1981 Ellwoodian)
