My Dearest Kathie,

I have walked a few of these miles with you via email. Know you and your family will continue to remain in my prayers. Jim was a strong fighter and strong in his belief, we know this by the extra time he managed to spend with you. He may be gone physically, but Never forgotten. He shall live on in our hearts. Be strong my, sister. Take relief in knowing he is no longer in pain and is setting up your new Home for when you and the Lord decide it is time for you to join him.

Safe Hugs & Blessings.

My friend...my deepest sympathies to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

In Remeberance of Jim

REMEMBER ME

Remember me on quiet days,

While raindrops whisper on your pane,

But in your memories have no grief

Let just the joy we knew remain

Remember me when evening stars

Smile down on you with quiet eyes.

Remember me if once you wake

To catch a glimpse of red sun rise.

Remember me when Spring walks by.

Think once of me when you are glad

When you are happy

So am I.

And when your thoughts do turn to me,

Know that I would not have you cry,

But live for me and laugh for me,

And while you live, I shall not die.

Dear Kathie, Faith & Tammy,

Again, we're so sorry about Jim's death-although we've known for sometime how ill he was, it's never easy. I hope knowing he is out of pain is some comfort for you~

The obituary is lovely, typo's, errors and all. A loving tribute to Jim.

AFTER I'VE GONE

After I've gone I will still be with you.You will see me in all the sunrises, Saying "Good Morning" to you.

You will hear me when the birds sing,Singing "Hello" to you,

And cheering you through the day.

You will feel me during the cold winter months,When the snow falls quietly,I will be saying "Isn't it beautiful?"

I will be with you during Autumn,

As the leaves change colors and fall,I will be with you watching silently.

I will be with you when the Moon is Full,I will place the stars for you,

So you can reach up and almost touch them.

When a soft breeze blows across you,

It will be me touching you,And wiping away your tears.

As the rain falls and lightning flashes,It will be me playing a song for you,A song of Courage and Strength.

And you will see me in the sunsets,

Saying "Goodnight my dear daughters,"

After I've gone, I will still be with you.
