Today We Paused and Remembered

This afternoon members of the animation community gathered at the Lasky Barn and memorialized peers who passed away over the past year...

Animation veteran Art Leonardi paid tribute to them all with the following poem:

Don't think of them as gone away --

their journey's just begun;

Life holds so many facets

this earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how they must be wishing

that we could know, today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of them as living

in the hearts of those they touched...

for nothing loved is ever lost --

and they were loved so much.

For the names and bios of the remembered, go here, here and here.
