(In honor of the lives of the angels of Eastern Senior High School’s Class of ’95)

• When you think of me, please remember the laughs
• And how we would always cut up in class
• When you think of me, please remember my smile
• Even though you hadn’t seen it in a while
• When you think of me, please remember my voice
• That was developed under the leadership of Ms. Joyce
• Garrett, that is, which could’ve gone without saying
• I’ll miss her teaching, her leadership, and her playing
• Oh, and don’t sleep on the skills of Mr. Anthony Boyd
• We had to put in that work, but those times were thoroughly enjoyed
• A force to be reckoned with…eagerly awaited to be heard and seen
• DC’s best high school band: “The Blue & White Marching Machine”
• When you think of me, please remember our times at “The Pride of Capitol Hill”
• Where we had our own Joe Clark, you know, Mr. Neal
• He didn’t carry a bat, but his presence commanded respect
• And we had enough sense to not go down those center steps
• Oh, but I was so glad when that day finally came
• On June 9, 1995, a stamp was placed by name
• We pursued the next level and went our own separate ways
• However, I had held on to those good ol’ days
• Some faces I hadn’t ever seen again because we were miles apart
• But please rest assured that you both remained and had a special place in my heart
• Though I have transitioned to yet another place
• Please remember our time together and don’t forget my face
• I had no idea of how short my life would be
• I ask you to do me a favor: PLEASE REMEMBER ME

In loving memory of…
