Some years ago I was privileged to meet this great man.
The friendship grew at the beginning and then the kinship was added.
I miss him so very much for he is now gone away from us.
Lyle B. is my brother and friend for all time.
His love emanates within me and is something innate that is there to stay.
The feelings I have for him is all love and support for the man he was.
Involved with politics and having a good sense of how things should be was his forte.
I know I am so glad that I met him and got to know him as I did.
For he was loving and very supportive of the work I have done and am doing.
I hope to see him and speak with him again when I reach Heaven.
Bless you, Lyle B., for being the man you were and remain to be.
