 | You gave it all away All of you, every day
Your vast beauty ebbing out
Gushing through the open doors of your vault
Reaching out, touching every other
I wish you had kept yourself safe, my Brother
You had it all really Lon
The looks, the patter
And nothing else seemed to matter
Except sharing yourself, loving to completion
Feeling everything with such volition
You lived it all and built it strong
How could anyone do you wrong?
For what? Your imperfections?
The ones they found in you?
So hard to accept when others reject
The deamons they became
| 
|
|
|
| You taught us all how to love unconditionally
With acts of patience faithfully You melted into the water
Fused with the earth
At last, at peace
You found rebirth
Eternal water, Stable ground
Comfort and safety
Is what you found
Taking all of you, Every part
And leaving an emptiness
In my heart
Separated only by fragments of time
I still hold your hand and I know you hold mine
Rest now my sweet Brother
No more to prove to any other
Know that I love you.....'all' of you
.....Your "Baby Sister" | |

Cathy,
I just posted a photo of Lon in the picture section. Thanks for all your
help. I am looking forward to seeing what his memorial will look like. By the
way, here's some info about Lon that might be helpful when putting his memorial
together. He was an avid bass fisherman. In fact, one year he was named Bass Pro
of the Year Championship 1st place for the entire state of Illinois. He loved
people, all people and especially children. He was a Viet Nam Viet, drill
sergeant and 1st sergeant. He started his own business from the ground up and it
became one of the most successful businesses in Decatur Illinois in the 1980's.
He was a very patient, compassionate, loving and forgiving man. He was my best
friend.
Carleene

Carleene, You are very welcome, 1979 will do a good job with it. When she gets back I know it will be perfect, just give her a little time to get it together and it will be posted on the side with the others. Anyone else that has a memorial in mind please just let us know. We all went to Highland and are connected, there are other Highland Angels looking at us every day. When I talk to other grads I am amazed at the numbers of deaths from our school. It is probably the same at others, it just is more real to us I guess. I am looking forward to see how well it comes out too. |

Thank you, 1979, Lon's Memorial page is great. I just sent the site address
to my mom. I know she will love it too. Here's another web site I made for Lon
shortly after he passed away. http://carllonhumphrey.tripodcom/
Thank you so much!!
