Jimmy sent me this un-edited forward Feb.25th 2009...It seems so important to share it now. He will forever be in my heart and my memories will make me smile through the tears.


Kelli I don't know about all the good luck stuff if I send it to 10 people but it made me think of you.


This is the poem:


Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
for life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

Thanks Kelli ...LY , XOXOXO


LY2 Jimmy R.I.P, I miss you so much already:(

Jim loved his kids and his family. My father in law always said that if you treat me well in life, don't mourn me when I'm gone. Jim treated people well in life. Bye, Jimmy, tell Mike and Jody hi for Me and Tina.
