IN MEMORY OF

JIM ST. JOHN AND JACKIE PASCARELLA

        
Break, break, break,

        
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!

        
And I would that my tongue could utter

        
The thoughts that arise in me.

        
Break, break, break

        
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea

        
But the tender grace of a day that is dead

        
Will never come back to me.

        
—ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
