"Be Kind" - Michele T. Valykeo

You possessed great faith and determination,

Loving kindness and compassion,

You possessed wisdom beyond what is common.

You were gracious to people.

The best we can do is honor these qualities,

possess them, be a part of that mindset.

The first time I ever heard the saying

"Be Kind for Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Great Battle"

was in association to you. You lived that mindset.

I won't let anyone allow me to stray from this thought.

Thank you for being a part of my world.

Thank you for bringing so many people together.

We'll honor you Chi. You made life more blissful

for so many people. All I can say is thank you

for touching my life and giving me hope when

I thought none was there.

On your birthday, I'll light the same candle that

had been lit for you before. I will remember

gracious and honorable things that remind me

of you.
