Mrs. Larr was newly married the year she taught my class...she asked us to write a poem, and even though my poem was about her, even back then...I am afraid it wouldn't have meant as much to her as these few words from my heart:
There are moments in a lifetime that are measured with your heart...and the moments shared with you, dear friend, will not, my heart, depart. I will remember softly... all the special talks we shared...all the moments shared in memory because you deeply cared...for all the ones about you...your loved ones meant so much...God's bless you in your rest dear friend...we'll meet again, in God we trust.
