Tribute to A Friend

I just found out today that a friend of mine from work passed away on Friday. While we did not work in the same office, we worked closely on some projects, and he was just a really neat guy. AJ was one of that kind of person you could just pick up where you left off from one time to the next. He had a sneaky grin on him, and you could see the mischievousness in his eyes. I can remember sitting in his office, just shooting the breeze and hearing him say, "riiiiiiite?" I cannot imagine what AJ's partner, Ray is going through at this time, but I hope the fact that AJ was liked by so many people is some small comfort to him. The following is for my friend. I am sorry I did not get to say goodbye, but thank you so much for the good times and friendship....

In those quiet moments in the still of the night
Remember to rejoice and celebrate life
Do not think of me gone and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on the grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in flight
I am the soft stars that shine
You will hear my gentle voice
and remember to rejoice
Never give up your fight
and remember always
to Celebrate Life.... ---- Author Unknown
