for the choral lines to display the beauty and
sensitivity of the melody and the harmonic writing.

by a more optimistic energy. In a moment of

loved ones can be found everywhere in nature,
and we should not cry, for they are not there,
they did not die. Written in memory of Brylee
Walker and Lindsay Thompkins Jr.
