The sounds of gentle humming  , sweet and clear  , fill the empty spaces .

How were we to know that you were leaving us so soon ?

YOUR love and honor was alive in each breath but I didn’t  know your name .

Dedication to a future in your vision crushed in the blink of someone else’s  eye .

The ache that has been left in your place so raw ,  so completely exposed .

Your name won’t be forgotten but I’d rather not know it .

You were here to live and to love .  Cry over losses and laugh with your heart .

Your sweet  hums in the hallways will echo in the vacant spaces  forever .
