I feel the same way. I worked late yesterday and heard about Don's passing on the radio. I went home and as I was telling my wife about it I was leaking some tears too. What a great man he was, and what an influence on my life. I, too, knew this day would come, but I didn't want it to ever happen. I am sad, very sad. >We will meet but we will miss him, >There will be his vacant chair; >We will linger to caress him >While we breathe our evening prayer; >When a year ago we gathered, >Joy was in his mild blue eye, >But a golden chord is severed, >And our hopes in ruin lie. >CHORUS: >We will meet, but we will miss him, >There will be his vacant chair, >We will linger to caress him >While we breathe our evening prayer. >At our fireside, sad and lonely, >Often will the bosom swell >At remembrance of the story, >How our noble father fell; >How he strove to bear our banner >Through the thickest of the fight; >And uphold our country's honor, >In the strength of manhood's fight. >True, they tell us wreaths of glory >Ever more will deck his brow, >But this soothes the anguish only, >Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now. >Sleep today, Oh early fallen, >In thy green and narrow bed. >Dirges from the pine and cypress >Mingle with the tears we shed. > Jeff Krentz -BigHead in Dee-Troit (O'Malley says "Thank You Don!") _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
