Dear Fran,
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I won't forget the great time I had at the pig roasts I came to. I believe the last one I attended was quite a while back but it seems as though he was singing Elvis songs! It was great fun. I know he will be missed by so many people. I hope we can get together soon with the girls at the "hog barn." My deepest sympathy to you and your children.

Uncle Jim,
You will dearly be missed! I was shocked to hear of your passing but I know that you are resting comfortably with our loved ones. You meant the world to so many people. You, grandma and mom are now together for eternity and that is the way a family should be. You were a great storyteller and you threw the best hog roast. I will always remember you telling folks at the parties that one whole watermelon was reserved for me (your neice)because you knew how much I loved it. I love you always and you will be missed.

Uncle Jim,
You passed so suddenly that we didn't get to say how much we love you. You have always held a special place in our hearts and we will miss you each and every day. You were the master of storytelling and those stories will always be remembered. I love you.

Uncle Jim, This was so unexpected and I wish it were just a bad dream that when we all woke up, you would still be here on earth with your family. I will always cherish all the fun our two families had together on our summer vacations. You will be missed but very much remembered in our hearts.

My Dearest Dad…
I can’t begin to explain how I feel inside knowing that I will never see your face, hear your voice, or feel your hugs again. My heart will never be whole until we meet again in heaven. Until that time, I will take comfort in knowing you are watching over me and my family. You are always with me Dad, in my memories and my heart.
Somehow….
Somewhere….
Someway….
Someday….we will be together again!
I love you Dad and I miss you with all that I am.

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.
