Once I was afraid of dying by Sven Nader Once I was afraid of dying, terrified of ever-lying, petrified of leaving family, home and friends. Thoughts of absence from my dear ones, brought a melancholy tear once, and a dredful fear of when life ends. But those days are long behind me, fear of leaving does not bind me, and departure does not hold a single care. Peace does comfort as I ponder, a reunion in the yonder, with my dearest one who is waiting for me there.

[1MoreeeeeReppppp]

[lowram00]

Anyone know where I can find that poem about dying?? He was such a smart man R.I.P

Rest well Coach,

your words inspired me.

He provided the example and the challenge

for anyone willing to attempt to be better,

it is something I will work on,

each day, for the rest of my life.

Always teaching, to the very end,

and for that, I say thank you.

[DonVilla10]

Rest in Peace greatest coach and man on earth.

[dcbandnerd]

Love in its purist form. You're with Nellie now, John

[ugadawgs9788]
