Your Light Will Remain

When the sun goes below the horizon he is not set; the heavens glow for a full hour after his departure. And when a great and good man sets, the sky of this world is luminous long after he is out of sight. Such a man cannot die out of this world. When he goes he leaves behind him much of himself. Being dead, he speaks.
- Lyman Beecher
My dear 'lyssa, though you have left us for Heaven, your bright radiant light will continue to warm our hearts and our actions.

I love you.
