IN MEMORY OF CHRIS LORENZO

by Cathy L.

   In less than one hour it will be the one year anniversary of a Classic
   Silk tragedy.  In dedication of our fallen friend, a tribute . . .

                He was the greatest hero who ever lived . . .

                        Sergeant Chris Lorenzo
                       Died in the Line of Duty
                          December the Tenth
                    Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Five

	He was a detective unlike any before
	His wit and his charm cracked many a case
	With the love of his partner, best friend, and wife
	No tragedy can his memory replace

	He infiltrated evil with an actor's poise
	Fighting at the line, but always coming back
   	He risked his pride in the name of justice
   	In the Name of Love, he braved all attacks

   	He feigned shallow on the surface with a hollow heart
   	But inside hid a soul of incredible fashion
   	Whether reading Rita to sleep, or pacing in the ER
   	Every "Lorenzo Smile" echoed life and compassion

   	He died defending his one True Love
   	In an end befitting, yet haunting still
   	His last words: "I won't leave you"
   	In our memories, he never will.
