In Loving Memory
“Tis a Fearful Thing. ‘Tis a fearful thingto love what death can touch. A fearful thingto love, to hope, to dream, to be – to be,And oh, to lose. A thing for fools, this, And a holy thing, a holy thingto love. For your life has lived in me,your laugh once lifted me,your word was gift to me. To remember this brings painful joy. ‘Tis a human thing, love,a holy thing, to lovewhat death has touched.” ― Judah Halevi
