To all who are generous of body and spirit,
we thank you and we honor you.

Donald Bartemes, Austin, MN

Once more we are
together
But for those who are
apart
May the taste and smell
of memories
Bring comfort to your
hearts.

Holly Lindsay, St Paul, MN

A New Christmas

Glimpses of fuzzy memories
Lost in the nocturnal lit snow
I remember your love
From not so long ago.
Although you are away
And tears dance in my eyes
May love be eternally yours, and
Forever complete our soul's ties.

Lori Manning, Minneapolis, MN

May you see
The smile in your eyes
Change the world
Before your very eyes

Greg Russell, Duluth, MN

There are four words that describe how we have gotten through these last three months. Individuals lived them, elected officials displayed them, countries sent messages referring to them. They are Humanity, Optimism, Perseverance and Encouragement. If we keep aligned on these we have all we need:
Humanity
Optimism
Perseverance
Encouragement

Chris Kemp, St. Paul, MN

To all those here, now:
May our grief and our laughter walk arm in arm.
May our words be gentle, our spirits calm.
May we live with honesty. May we love without fear.
May we shimmer. May we shine.
We are alive.

Kelly Mowrer, Minneapolis, MN

Nightwalk - Lake Harriet
Lovers hand in hand
navigate the lake's path.
The moon's watchful eye
illuminates their way.
They stop to embrace
connected by love
rooted in place.
our hearts are comforted
we are whole.

Cathy Cato, Minneapolis, MN

To Your Gift of Friendship:

The holidays may come and go.
But it's your friendship that
Makes this season come alive.

We cherish your spirit of giving
And good humor
Throughout the year.

Mike Barzacchini, Barrington, IL

Angels in Heaven
embrace with open arms
all those lost
to that dark day
on 11 September 2001.
Grant them Eternal Peace!
Grant us the Courage to REMEMBER!

Deborah Holdgrafer, St. Paul, MN
