Suzanne Durrett and James White, February 21, 1969

1969 Amador High School Yearbook Tribute

Down, down, down, into the darkness of the grave

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;

Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.

I know.  But I do not approve.  And I am not resigned.
