And in this way the score was settled,
that only love mattered in the end.

The mistakes and mischief of the past
were left behind like broken glass.

They joined together to breathe as one
then flew like eagles into the sun.

Godspeed, my friends.

Note:  for Senator Ted Stevens, Theron Smith, Dana Tindall, Corey Tindall, and Bill Phillips Sr. who perished onboard GCI’s DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter outside of Dillingham, Alaska on 8-9-10.
