XJ' I'd give the world if iust once more John's laughter could be heard - If I could walk the halls with him, And hear his friendly word. I think of him often too And the happy years we spenty I think of iust how quickly And how tragically he went. ELEGY FOR JOHN I know that Heaven has claimed him .And that he is happy there, But when I think how young he was It doesn't seem quite fair. l think of Johnny's carefree laugh And the friendly iokes we shared. l'm sure John knows we all miss him And knows how much we cared. - Gail Ge John C.
