for James E. Hendrick, July 10, 1998
sweet man
living a simple
life; loving his
wife, receiving
love; loving
his daughters,
receiving
love.
there is no
end to this
loving. & those
who loved him
carry his love
in their hearts
like gentle
fire.
It’s this never
dying flame of
love that makes
life glow; &
this never ending
glow that makes
death
sweet.
