I am very glad I got the chance to meet you! I am even happier that you were able to meet Jose Angel Hill (Junior) your great grandson. I remember going to your daughter Lori's house and having you put my picture up along with all the people you knew and cared for. God Bless you Cowboy and may you rest in peace.

When I close my eyes to search my mind, It is you I find with a smile so kind, Lots of times I feel so alone, I whisper to you, "I'll soon be home."

When I need you near me, I open my mind, I open my heart and It's you I find. I know you are there, Always with me. When I say " I love you", I know you hear me.

Than you for laetting me love you, Your far away, but so near, You made my life as peacful as a dove, and don't worry because the water in my eyes, Are just drops of LOVE...

Your oldest grandson jose and vanessa and junior... I love you COWBOY I'll never forget you...

So sorry for your loss. He certainly was a nice gentle man. He was country before country was cool with his cowboy hat, buckle and boots. I always looked around to see if he rode in on a horse. I was sure he would have one day. Well now he has all the horses he can ride. I always had admired him for being a cowboy. Yee haw.
Rest in peace Jim
