Friends Remember Jimmy Adams and Ben Burchardt

What moves through us is silence,

a quiet sadness,

a longing for one more day,

for one more word,

for one more touch.

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon,

or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,

but little by little,

we begin to remember not just that you died,

but that you lived.

And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
