If you’d like, pause a moment for me
since family and friends are flung to the winds
and I don’t want a bother to be.
I’ve enjoyed our friendship over the years,
But the time has come now to part;
Yet, the memories and feelings they can remain
Held close like a jewel in the heart.
So thank you all for your kindness
There’s much more I could say
But ‘so long for now’ seems sufficient
As I graduate Earth-life today
Graveside services will be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the Ammon Cemetery, 5226 E. Sunnyside Rd., Ammon, ID.
