Not really. Things, people--they always go away sooner or later. You cant hold them any more than you can hold moonlight. But if theyve touched you, if they are inside you, then theyre still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart." Bruce Coville The funeral will be held at Southern Hills Baptist Church chapel, 8601 S.
