God saw the road was getting rough,
The hill was hard to climb,
He gently closed those loving eye's
And wispered, "Peace Be Thine"
The weary hours, the day's of pain,
The sleepless night are passed.
The every-patient worn-out frame,
Has found sweet rest at last.
Judi love you, so sorry for your loss.

To my dear friend Judi and the Vires family.
If our lives were always easy,
if no troubles came our way
If each day was filled with gladness, we might then neglect to pray
So when sorow crowds our pathway,
when our woes seem multiplied,
It may be God's way to draw us near Back again close to His side.

Joey,

I thought we would have so many more years together. From that first glance across the room 24 years ago, we have been soul-mates. You were, and will always be, my rock and guiding light. I need your strength now, more than ever. In Angie's eyes, you will always be her Hero. She is a strong woman & you have given her the tools she needs to carry on. Madison, Jaya & Kaylee will miss their Pop Pop's twinkling eyes, warm hugs & loving arms. Jim & Jenny will remember your guidance & love throughout these years. Our family gatherings won't be the same without your physical presence, but we will honor your memory forever more.

You saw what was good & beautiful in people & in Mother Earth. You have left your imprint on our hearts. Wherever we are on the property, we feel your presence & know that you made this land you loved better & everlasting.

You told us to listen to the music...and we did. Please continue to guide us with your wisdom & love.

For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost...

Your Loving Wife & Soul-Mate,

Judi
