Life
I lived my life,
The way I wanted,
IT WAS MY LIFE.
I composed my own lyrics,
And sang a different tune.
I choreographed the moves,
in sync with the rhythms of my life.
I HEARD A DIFFERENT DRUMMER.
Celebrate the authenticity of my life,
think of me when you rejoice in the rhythms of your own life.
Feel the pulsations, share your joy,
And live in the moment.
Now is the only time we have.
I LOVED LIFE.

Nathan will always hold a special place in my heart for he was quite a special friend to me. Deb, you and the children will always be thought of in a most caring and loving way because you too are special to me. May my prayers and those of others continue to uplift and strenghten you.

Nathan was a great friend to my brother James and to our family. We are all very sad to hear of his passing. Best wishes to his family who I had the pleasure of meeting several years ago in downtown Boston (Copley Square). It was quite a coincidence because just hours before Jimmy had been playing a home video of Nathan's children who I recognized when I saw them in Copley Square. Robert, Rest in Peace!
