My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Linthicum family. May you find peace within through the memories that Lance left behind.
Just as the sun it rises
Then vanishes away on the horizon
Lance too has come and then left us
Today it seems like a dream
That he was so much a part of our lives
That he lived and loved as we do
Now he has left our hearts and his home
Like the fish that a fisherman threw
Back in the water to go on its way
And that is what Lance is doing today
To a bright new world, see the sun glitter
As he drifts from sight, though our tears are bitter
We know that he, like the trout's leap
Will always be there in our memories deep.
Rest In Peace My Friend
