The Train
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don’t realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey.
Until that day we meet again Grizz, may God hold you in his loving light.
Becky & family, We are so sorry for your loss. Grizz was a great person to know as a co-worker & a friend. He will be sadly missed by both of us. God Bless you & yours.
Becky we are so sorry for your loss. Grizz will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear to hear about your loss Grizz was a wonderful man with a huge heart I’ll never forget him !! Rip
Rest in peace, Mark. I have fond memories of you from our years at RHS.
