If Tears Could Build A Stairway
And Memories A Lane
I’d Walk Right Up To Heaven
And Bring You Home Again

You will always be in my heart

We knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved your dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

god looked around his garden
and found and empty space
then he looked down this earth
and saw your tired face
he put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
god's garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best.
auntie, my heart goes out to you and the family.
love mary p

So sorry to hear of Jon's leaving us.
I have many fond memories of camping with him and his family and visiting his home when Kim and Kris were young. We could always count on him to bring his boat up to Long Lake/Sebago area so we could all have fun. Really nice man.
