November 2013 MOTM: Kristoffer G.(Kris) Raifsnider
#11
Read up on this event, wow tough break, one just never knows what tomorrow will bring them. Kris was really into his Monte, very mature young man for his age. It was nice for the forum to step up and be in his life one last time with the card many of you came together on and sent to his family. R.I.P. bro. November Monte of the Month it is... What a kind and loving forum we have here. Good people, hats off to you all. Found a little poem from Kris to us...
The Final Flight
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

Rest in Peace; Our Friend, Our Brother
You shall never be forgotten, for you will always dwell a special place in our hearts.
I regret never being able to meet you in person, but I promise I will come visit you at your final resting place soon;
'Til we meet in Heaven, Buddy

"Rest in Peace"
“There is no death,. People die only when we forget them,' my mother explained shortly before she left me. 'If you can remember me, I will be with you always.”
