The many things he promised to do he did.
There is no disputing the matter for he was always true.
I find myself wanting to emanate him and be more like him every single day.
You could count on the things he told you for he was always a man of his word.
I always believed he loved me as he said he did.
Sorry to say Lyle is no longer here; in the physical sense but is very much a part of my life.
His memories have outlived himself and are a very big part of my life.
I remembered the time we say our goodbyes at the fence that Saturday morning when they were getting ready to leave.
It was a very special time for me as we shared a moment of love toward the other that people share though of course not intimately.
This is a highlight for me and remains to be most special for me to remember.
Bless you, Lyle, for being the man you were and remain to be.
