Gone From My Sight
by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying...

Death comes in its own time, in its own way.
Death is as unique as the individual experiencing it.

Gone from our sight, Forever in our hearts.

Thanks for all you gave to us and to the whole network of UnderNet, you'll stay in memories for years!

I highly doubt elm's family will be reading these post's and i highly assume they would like to to see how much a respected and true person he was to ourselves.

Feel free to pop by #Elm on undernet and the full channel log will be Emailed to his family, also there is an URL placed in the topic, which directly links you to his proper obituary,

Nevertheless Thank you Undernet for posting this, and Indeed, May he Rest in peace with his sister now. (Joyce[c00kie.])

Rest In Peace Elm
Ameen.

Not known to me very well on elm, but I talked several times some very important things for me and I say that I learned from him a lot here on this irc, sorry for the family of Eldon McDaniel hope my condolences to have peace and quiet where you are now God keep you.

I remember him as a fair person, not very much talktive but with lots of knowledge and heart in everything he did.
Rest in Peace friend.

You don’t get over it, you just get through it. Your don’t get by it, because you can’t get around it. It doesn’t ‘get better’; it just gets different. Everyday… Rest in peace,Mac.

rest in peace....god bless you elm..

We will all miss you, rest in peace.

I knew Elm's reputation better than I knew Elm as our paths did not cross that often.
His reputation on unet is great and unet will be a lesser place with his passing.
I wish his family and friends peace in their hearts, he will be missed by many.
