We shall remember them and never forget the dignity, class and integral character they left on the streets and sidewalks when crossing over into eternity, joining the sacred ranks above where they can keep their spirits attuned to our very lives. The legacies they are left to uphold by the virtues and versatility their beloved angels left for them to accomplish.
