"Diana and Shirley, I'm sorry we could not be there to comfort you in your hour of need. Diana, your Dad was a good man and he will be deeply missed. This poem reminded me of him. May God Bless you both. Love, Les, Dee and Stephanie LET ME GIVE I do not know how long I'll live But while I live, Lord, let me give Some comfort to someone in need By smile or nod, kind word or deed. And let me do what ever I can To ease things for my fellow man. I want naught but to do my part To "lift" a tired or weary heart. To change folks' frowns to smiles again. Then I will not have lived in vain And I'll not care how long I'll live If I can give ... and give ... and give. -BJ.Morbitzer"
