The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

This morning I sat on the deck at the beach cottage and watched a most magical sunrise. A spinning shark came out of the water and a flock of 71 pelicans flew up the beach. About my second cup of coffee, I usually start trying to figure out "why am I so lucky to live on a stretch of sand with no other houses in sight." Sometimes I come to the conclusion that it's not all that important "why," it's only important that it "is." So it is with my friend Richard. I believe he rose every morning with a positive attitude, a work ethic and a smile. I know he was immensely proud of his family, as well he should have been. In our little town of Ellsworth, almost everyone has had contact with the Bond family. Ellsworth is a better place for the Bonds living there. Friendship is not tested in good times. It is tested in bad. If I had not seen Dick in a while and had a problem, I could call. He would not say "why did you, why didn't you," he simply said, "yes." I believe the sun will rise tomorrow and Dicky will always be my friend. I will miss him greatly. I stll think I should have won Junior Speaking instead of him! Jimmy
