In Loving Memory of Jerry Lingle

He has died 
And gone away,
But he's now here 
In a new way to stay. 

The air we breath,
The warmth of the sun,
His energy stays
Though his body is done. 

He has trained us, 
And helped us to care, 
And loosing him like this 
Is to much to bare. 

Close your eyes 
And take a deep breath, 
Feel him here, 
In the heart of your chest! 

We will smile 
And we will cry, 
We will cherish the memories 
As we say... Goodbye!
