May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
is yours.

This love that I have
of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Leo Marks

To the Burden family, thoughts of you and the balm of corresponding prayer are manifestly in place.

Ike, Eric, & LoLo,
You know I feel what you feel. Larry was my brother and probably my first boyfriend. I will always remember his and my grade school years and sneaking to get a quick kiss. I've not been in much contact with Larry, but I will never forget him. He too was like a brother -- my 31st Street family. My prayers and heart will always will be with you guys now and forever. Love You All!!!

Morning Has Broken

Words: Eleanor Farjeon
Music: Traditional Gaelic

1. Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!

2. Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

3. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation; praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day!
