Dear Linda and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Jim. I want you all to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Jim and Larry worked together at Kuker Industries years ago. I have some really fond memories of Jim the one thing that sticks out in my mind is he picked a Buick Regal as his company car and it was a spunky little car for some reason I remember it was not really suppose to be a car he could get but somehow managed to get it and some of the sales team were a little envious of it and how he managed to get it. I wish I could remember the whole story on that but when it came up to be sold Larry and I bought that car I loved it then my mom bought it from us it came to Texas with her she sold it about 8 years ago and that car is still running around town here. He knew what a great car it would be. Well that is just one of many things that stick out in my mind and I wanted to share that with you. I am sure Jim and Larry are in heaven sharing memories of the Kuker Days. Please know that you are all in my prayers, and how sorry I am to hear about Jim. Sincerely Sue Cameron

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Linda,
I enjoyed meeting Jim at your booth at River City Roundup years ago. You two were obviously a good team and I'm so sorry now for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
