Memorial Dedication Fondest Memories of 0ur Friend Ricky Poirier To have known him was to have loved him, He made you feel next of kin. His days of life were full of love, With the light of his love like the flight of a dove He fought hard to win his battle, Ready and willing with bull and saddle. Why so young and eager at heart, As he pushed and pushed that hefty cart. Harder and harder were we to pray, Hoping our voices were heard each day. Our voices were heard hour after hour, When Ricky was taken and given special power His friendship remains within our minds, For he was much more than kind, Memories we share are stronger than force, That we some day will also follow his course. As different each course can and will be, We share and cherish each memory. In Memory of Our Friend Greg Aborn God took you from this earth Without explaining why. There must have been a reason Why he chose you to die. You were such a young man With a whole life to live. You never did take much Yet you had so much to give. You'll always be remembered By that twinkle in your eye, That silly smirk, your sense of humor lt's hard to say good-bye. Those of us who knew you well Are hurting deep inside, For we've lost such a dear friend Whom we'll remember with pride. We love you, oh, so dearly And know you love us, too. You'll always be remembered And our happy days are few. A Special Friend Diane Weeks lf only God had let us know How little time there was We would have made you understand How much you meant to us. You brought a lot of happiness To everyone you knew. I only hope we let you know, How much we all loved you. Our memories are precious ones Secured within our hearts Of a friendship that was dear to us With these memories we'II never pa rt. Although you are not with us now Together we'II always be ln the hearts and minds of all of us For all eternity.
