-celebrate life
do not mourn death
-someone who left
made a mark here
impacted lives
big or small way
-those imprints are
indelible
-give them a name
before they fade
-celebrate life

Great post. This reminds me to be sure to honor what those who have left gave me, especially those who were teachers in my world in one way or another. Peace and Blessings
