We Race for ... Lynn Ertl

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave when my life is done.

Lynn touched many of us and became a much-loved member of the Komen Milwaukee Affiliate family. We will miss her.
