When I Must Leave You
By Helen Steiner Rice
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
This was another attempt. We got her arms down and her face in the picture. What a good time we had that night!
This was one of our attempts at a group picture at the class reunion. You can see why we had to try again. Even though you can't see her face guess who those red arms belong to?
This picture was taken at our 45th class reunion. Loretta is dancing (or directing the dance) with Donna (Rufo) Marshall, Fran Correia and Betty (Hutchison) Hedly. Who do you think looks like they were having the best time? I wish I remembered what was in her hand.
