Mr Lewis, where do I start? There are so many wonderful memories in my mind of you back in the 1960's, from the time Pam and I met and became best friends at age 12. I remember your loving ways, quiet ways, and warm smile - especially when it came to us and what we were cooking up with our boyfriends! Thank you for always making me feel so at home, at your home. It was an honor to know you. God speed Mr. Lewis.

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.There will be no more sunrises, no mneitus, hours or days.All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;not what you got, but what you gave.What will matter is not your success, but your significance.What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character.What will matter is not how many people you knew,but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.What will matter is not your memories,but the memories that live in those who loved you.What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.Choose to live a life that matters. You will be missed! Drew
