Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows
I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.

Dear Salim and Margo,

We share your sorrow and grief at this time in the loss of your son, Jimmy. Although we never had the opportunity to meet Jimmy, my sister Evelyn always spoke very highly of him. Please rest assured that Jimmy is happy in heaven with our son, Michael, whom we lost 3 years ago. Like your son, our son also suffered (all his life). We pray for your family.
God bless you.

Love,
Cousins Alfred and Nancy Karam

It is hard Ya Jimmy to believe that you are not anymore with us. It is hard to believe that we have lost that smile and that endless sense of humour. It is hard as well to believe that we have lost you as a friend, a true friend. “James Gustine” You will always be with us. You will always be Ebn Zagrtaa whom we are proud of. I pray deeply from my heart that God be with you and your family in this time of grief.
