Class of 2003 Tree Ceremony October 29, 2001 |
A flowering malice crab tree was planted in memory of Sam by his classmates, Hilton's Class of 2003 in front of Hilton High School. Julie Crouse read the following poem: Hold on to what is good even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your life even if it's easier to let go. Hold on to my hand even when I've gone away from you. --A Hopi prayer offered by NAPT member Gerri Power, Auckland, New Zealand A moment of silence was offered along with a release of green balloons. Sam's friends offered their memories of Sam to me and I will cherish those memories. |
