As long as hearts remember,
As long as hearts still care,
We never part with those we love --
They're with us everywhere...
So may your precious memories
Of the one you held so dear
Bring peace and comfort to you now
And keep your loved one near.
Roosevelt was my nextdoor neighbor, growing up in the fifties on Majestic Avenue, Norfolk, VA.
