To his loved ones, he would like to leave this note:
After Glow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to
leave an after glow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to
leave an echo whispering softly down the fairway of happy
times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like
the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun. Of happy
memories that leave when life is done.
