Sis,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Jimmys passing. I know my dad would have wanted to go back if he had heard the news. My brothers and I send our deepest love and affection to you.

Sis,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim's sudden passing. He was such a kind and compassionate man. I added the poem to the book because I though it held the message Jim would want the family to read. I have many fond memories of him. I especially enjoyed the times when we were able to share our faith. I know we will see him again one day and in the meantime I pray God's comfort and peace will surround you every time you think of your brother. I'm sorry I was not able to come for the service but you all were in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Judy

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Ginny and Family,
Our lives were deeply touched by Jim. He often visited the children at school and was always so willing to share his time and talents with everyone.
We will miss him and his gentle spirit.
When ever he worked with the children he would remind them that " God is good all the time and all the time God is good".
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
Peace,
Pat Murphy and the children from Saint Brendan's School

To the family of Jim Little.
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
Jim touched my life twice. I worked for him at Putnam and was pleasantly surprised to see him again as Deacon at Star of the Sea Church. His faith was always evident in his daily life. May God bless you all at this sad time.

To Ginny and Family, I was so shocked to receive a call today in Maine from a member of my family about the death of Jim. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I am forever grateful for the friendship that Deacon Jim gave to my family, myself, and Tom. My prayers are with you. Jim certainly showed us by actions what it meant to be a follower of Christ. Fondly, Mary Egan and family

To the family of Deacon Jim - Our thoughts and prayers are with you on your loss. Jim was a light in the darkness, a true beacon of faith to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He touched so many lives and left such a lasting impression. He lived his faith and his vocation fully and left this world a much better place for his having been part of it. He will be sorely missed.
