I give you this one thought to keep –
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone –
I am with you still – in each new dawn
(Native American Poem)
We are so sorry for you loss.

We will never forget the few, but wonderful times spent with Jim and Jane; the perpetual smile he had on his face. He was a pleasant person to be around and I am sure he will be missed by all. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
