I swear, every time I log in and see the "In Memory" number go up my stomach drops.  I can hardly stand the thought of losing one of our class members.  I still remember them young and full of life.  So very sad.

It is sad, Nancy, but dying is a part of living. They may be gone, but we can keep them with us by sharing our memories of them. I wrote a note on Donnie Dunlap's page as if he were still with us. He was a very good friend, he died so young, and I never dreamed I would never see him again. I guess my note to him was my way of saying to his spirit, "Hey Donnie. You're still here with me, buddy, right here in my heart". I guess in essence we can say, his "memory" lives on....

So, as a good friend of mine I say to you, dear: Be glad, not sad, that you knew them when....
