To the Singletary Family: I just heard the news of Jim's passing today and I must say I was shocked! Jim was one of the best Supervisors I ever had the privilege of working for at Delta. I truly enjoyed talking music with him many times between flights...what a wealth of knowledge he had on that subject. My sincere condolences and prayers to you at this time. He WILL be missed.

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love, You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it is time I travel alone.

So greive a while for if grieve you must,
then let your grief be, comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All of my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say,.......

"Welcome Home"

You will be missed.
