Dear Willie:

Words cannot express the sympathy 1 felt for you and your family upon

hearing the news of your great loss. I know this is a difficult time and thought

I would share with you a quote I came across which has meant a lot to me:

"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all...it comes

with bitterest agony... Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better. And yet this is a mistake. You arc sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I

say."Abraham Lincoln

My thoughts and prayers go with you. If 1 can be of help, please do

not hesitate to call God bless.

Most yncer ( /

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong, To love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are to weary, To reach the unreachable star!

This is my quest, to follow that star,No matter how hopeless, no matter how far;To fight for the right without question or pause,To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause!

And I know, if 111 only be true to this glorious quest,That my heart will lie peaceful and calm,When I am laid to my rest,And the world will be better for this;That one man scorned and covered with scars,Still-strove with this last ounce of courage,To reach the unreachable stars.

Joe Darion

LIFE!

Life! I know not what thou art But know that thou and I must part; And when, or how, or where we met I own to me©s a secret yet.

Life! We©ve been long together; Through pleasant and cloudy weather Tis hard to part when friends are dear; Perhaps twill cost a sigh, a tear, then Steal away, give little warnings; Close thine own time, say not good-night But in some brighter climb; Bid me good morning.
