Dear Larry,

I was deeply moved by your song and are not ashamed of the tears I shod.
Some companions of our local Volunteer Fire Department had been visiting the NYFD some years ago and knew Father Mike ...
At our yearly General Meeting I have to drum the death roll during the remembrance of the dead; next year I'll motion to play the Locke Hospital with my trumpet instead.
Special for the final stanza ...
