In Memoriam
Lynn
Ann Fine Hanlon
March
23 1973-April 17, 1998
Remember
Remember me when I am gone
away,
Gone far away into the silent
land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I
half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember
me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will
be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if
you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you
should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
~ Christina Rossetti
