So many years before have since flown by... back then so young...but seniors now are we; and here are friends I view with tearful eye, yet thankful some are still left here with me. My high school yearbook is online to share; I scan each page, remember each dear face. But, there are those who climbed that special stair... at peace with God...perhaps a better place. I read the names these photos yet define, of friends whom I'm so happy are still here, along with those who had to cross that line... I'm caught between a smile and falling tear. My love, I send to every precious friend... here in this yearbook...joy and sorrow blend.
