ln Memoriam 4 is Brandon Thomas 19 74- 7988 Some, it would appear, from the very moment of their birth, With great accomplishments begin to make a mark on earth. And men write - filling books with their various and sundry deeds, To inspire, to teach, and to touch the lives of all who will read. But once, perhaps twice in our lifetime, if we are truly and specially blessed, One comes our way, not from the writings of men, but a common one, just doing his best. He comes not as a warrior, a statesman, or a King, Not as one who sets new records, or invents machines. Not even as one who has fought injustices and righted world wrongs, Nor one who has written great books or sung popular hit songs. Just one, who in simplicity, comes to the little space and place that we know, Bringing wonderful laughter, witty answers, special kindness, genuine happiness, anda personal love that makes our lives glow. Glow with an energy that makes us different, a difference we can 't define. But we all experience change - a wonderful, beautiful change in our souls and minds. A change that comes because we have known one so real, so alive, so true, And he left his mark, hard - permanent -, not on the world, but more importantly, on me and on you. Oh, his many deeds probably will never reach men 's books of success and fame, But we, we with the grateful hearts, will remember, and never be the same. - Dr. L.C. Stout lFrom Rev. Stout's Eulogyj
