Let us remember those who were important to us that have left this mortal coil. Some may be close and personal to you. Others may have been distant stars that shed some brilliance upon your life, while still others may have been people that you simply enjoyed.
Some may have been family members or friends. Some were comics. Some were actors or sports stars, politicians or celebrities. Some were musicians or poets or authors, while others were heros in the true sense of the word. Send out your reverence and remember them.
May the new year bring us new heros and those good souls the world needs, and those other celebrities, artists, and comics that you enjoy.
May your new year be filled with pleasures and answered goals. May you be safe and well, and have all the happiness that you can hold.
This is my reverence list, in a somewhat ordered fashion. Certainly you will consider others that are not on this list. Some you may feel I have over looked. But honestly, some I left off this list because their light, while perhaps brilliant, did not shine on me. If you do not recognize a name, just ask.
