Marcie--I was so sorry when I looked into today's paper to see that Jim had died. I think of you frequently, and wish I could be present to give you a hug. Perhaps, after you return to work, you, Paul and I--and some others if you should choose--could have lunch.
I will continue to think of you and pray for you and your family as you go through this part of life.

You never said" i'm leaving "
you never said "goodbye
you were gone before we knew it
and only god knows why
a million times we needed you
a million times we have cried
if love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
in life we loved you dearly
in death we love you still
in our heart you hold a place
that no one could ever fill
it broke our hearts to loose you
but you did not go alone
for part of us went with you
when god took you home ..
you will be missed so much we love you god bless
