CLASSMATE MEMORIAL
This memorial page is here to give the utmost honor to our fallen classmates. The page is very nice as we can post the obituary, photos and leave tributes to our fellow classmates. If you know of someone who has passed away or if you can provide us with more information on any of these people then please contact mesahighclassof63@gmail.com
SPECIAL THANKS TO MEL BOWERS
FOR ALL THE HELP HE HAS GIVEN US.
Dear Classmates:
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our heart.

There are five things that you cannot recover in life:
1. The Stone...after it's thrown
2. The Word...after it's said
3. The Occasion...after it's missed
4. The Time...after it's gone
5. A person...after they die. Treat each one with care
as life is so short....
