We were in a childbirth preparation

Sandy and Jon,



My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers from The Arlington Heights Elks are with you as you go through these difficult times.



Elkdom's house is darkened,

the Eleventh Hour is here.

The chimes are calling softly

to our Brothers far and near.

Wherever his footsteps take him,

to near or distant shore,

the Heart of Elkdom beats for him

and for those who come no more.



If you see a Brother falter,

reach out a helping hand ...

His virtues live in memory,

his faults drift with the sand ...



To our Absent Brother
