There was a special peace embroiling Lyle when I came to know him.
He had a love that was free to tell me that he did love me and to help me feel better about myself.
I, for a long time, felt I was a nonentity.
Lyle and knowing him helped to change how I felt about myself.
There is a special wonderfulness that I have to say existed with Lyle and is a part of my memory today.
For you see, I haven't forgotten Lyle by any means.
He is very much a part of my everyday life.
He had a special way about himself that was very evident of his love for others.
I am glad and happy I was part of the equation of people for whom he loved.
I celebrate his life and remember his passing all too soon.
I cherish the love that was felt and was mine to acknowledge.
May you have someone special who is like Lyle was.
