Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Our deepest condolences go out to all of Mr. Johnson's (aka BIPA) family and loved ones, but mostly to my dear little Eric, Alan and Mom. He was a wonderful man and had such a great long life. He is at peace now, but will never be forgotten.
Love you all, Melissa, Herb & Jenna
