Perseverance Rose Marie Raccioppi Memories of valor that touch our heart and soul A place within the Presence the celebration of the goal To reach our purpose with mind and plan The birth of vision held by all of man To hold resolve and endure all claim To fire the passion beyond the pain This assertion in what we do With God's blessing brought to you Relentless is the path the way The spirit of perseverance calls this day In honor of those who soar the heavens above Our hearts open to God's eternal love. In Honor of Michael Murphy
