Dear Sue: your angels are here to help you during this time of grief. After you invite them in, you may sense their presence when you feel chills, goose bumps, tingling on the back of the neck, clarity of vision, tears which flow when the heart opens, a sweet fragrance that cannot be explained, self acceptance, inner peace, feelings of love and of being deeply cared for. These are all signs.

Thinking of you everyday, Stacy

Jim was such a nice person.I met him through my ex-husband. He was always kind and sweet. He was the person whom told me and my ex-husband about a program called "The Police Explorers " for
our son. My son never did join the police explorers, however, my daughter did join and she loved it every year she was in the program. Thanks to Jimmy, she was exposed to a career that she probably never would have thought she would be interested in! May you Rest in Peace Jim. Cathi Greiner

We little knew that afternoon that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us, one by one, The chain will link again. Untill then we will miss you greatly
