Cathy Lynn Calgos was a dream to me.

A beautiful woman with a soul that was free.

She always treated me like a king.

Cathy was definitely my right wing.

I'm already missing every little bit.

My heart is pounding - I want it to quit.

Her laughter, her food unbelievably great.

I was two days from home when I learned of her fate.

So now I will remember this woman's love.

God may you let her fly like a dove.

I love you, Cathy.

Michael Hay
