The voice of a Christmas angel singing "Ave Maria", or a scary monster man singing. "The Green Eyed Dragon With the Thirteen Tails" at bedtime until your kids hid under the blankets, or singing from your lips to God's ear in a church that counted its blessings - blessings too numerous to count-because it had you and for so many reasons more than just your voice. Eyes bluer than a Texas sky and just as grand. A little league baseball/football/basketball coach or (in your dreams) a Wimbledon star. Funny, always funny, always joking to cheer a sadness or break the ice or just to please, it's the humor really that we'll all remember although it wasn't by half as funny as your kindness was kind of your tenderness tender or your thoughtfulness thoughtful of your time free; your time always free for whoever asked you, your needs always second to whoever needed you.
