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.

Darlene and Family:
We were all very blessed to have known Neil. His many years as a very active Optimist Charter member leaves a great legacy and influence. He was a great friend to all of us. We will all very much miss his smile and grin. He was a True Optimists not only as a member, but in life.
