Michael S. Wilborn
In loving memory of:
Michael S. Wilborn
April 22, 1984 — June 17, 2010
They that love the World, cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill, what never dies.
Nor can Spirits ever be divided that love and live in the same
Divine Principle; the Root and Record of their Friendship.
If Absence be not death, neither is theirs.
Death is but Crossing the World, as Friends do the Seas;
They live in one another still.
— By William Penn
