c'mon, let's go Ritchie and we sat on the steps notes frolicking in the air sing it again, Ritchie and you laughed always, a friendly laugh and never saying no as we begged for just one more song c'mon, let's go who knows why time plays tricks as today for some strange reason I can still see you, sitting there on the steps, guitar in hand smile on face and when all the other walls ended up with gang graffitti and bizarre realities boldly emblazoned the wall dedicated to you stands as it was intended a fitting tibute to a seventeen year old rising star whose starlight fell from the sky so long ago and yet, Ritchie your star still shines today and those of us who chanced to meet you hear you, bask in your glow will forever know you will always be a star in memory Ritchie Valens 1959 |

You were, indeed, fortunate to have had your star paths cross. A very touching, commemorative penning, Kacy. Loving hug, Linda |

and when all the other walls ended up with gang graffitti and bizarre realities boldly emblazoned the wall dedicated to you stands as it was intended a fitting tibute to a seventeen year old rising star whose starlight fell from the sky so long ago this was an amazingly beautiful write thanks so much for sharing |
