Henry "Buck" Aliff

And if I should go before you know that part of me still remains. You will not see me, yet I will be there walking beside you. You will not touch me, yet I will live in your heart and memory always. Have faith that we will one day walk hand in hand in eternity. Until then, live your life for life is good.... and know that I am with you.
