REMEMBRANCES
For PVTE2 Craig MARATTA, USA...Another of Coraopolis's bravest of heroes, who gave his all for us!!!
He loved us so.
Evwery day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he sbhowed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Private Maratta, you had given all to defdend liberty everywhere! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! You fought for the right, without question or pause! I strongly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly admire as one of my three top favorite sonmgbirds of all time, the others being Julie Andrews, England's musical grande dame, and Dusty Springfield, another thruash from England who passed on some years ago, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices made by you to keep our country free! Well done, Soldier! Be thou at peace. ARMY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Remember
CHS 65 Blue Devils
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye – 1932
