Howard “Nook” Black

In memory of our beloved Howard “Nook” Black who passed away 10 years ago today.

Don’t cry for me now I have died, for I’m still here I’m by your side, My body’s gone but my soul is here, please don’t shed another tear, I am still here I’m all around, only my body lies in the ground.

I am the snowflake that kisses your nose,

I am the frost, that nips your toes.

I am the sun, bringing you light,

I am the star, shining so bright.

I am the rain, refreshing the earth,

I am the laughter, I am the mirth.

I am the bird, up in the sky, I am the cloud, that’s drifting by.

I am the thoughts, inside you head,

While I’m still there, I can’t be dead.

You are missed greatly.
