Barbara, James, Jason and Erin,
There are no words that could every explain how sorry I was to learn of Jim's passing; far too young and far too soon! I can only do what I have always done for you and write a poem.
When we are brought on this earth,
God has a special plan for each!
One that includes ups and downs,
and some things beyond our reach.
We have no guarantees in life
and it breaks our heart to say goodbye
to a wonderful husband and father;
and an all-around great guy!
Every day we have to spend
with those we truly love,
are a gift to forever treasure
sent to us from above.
So as you say goodbye
Remember, he didn't go alone
He took a piece of each of you
When God called him home
He will be with you in the mornings
And when you lay down at night
Forever in your hearts
Though he's gone from sight!
Please know we send our love and will continue to pray for all of you during this difficult time.
With much love,
Laurie Martin
