Dear family,
It’s been many years since I saw Jim. He delivered where I worked, years back. He always had a smile on his face and kind words. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Heaven Jim..

“I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and
your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
from which I’ll never part.
God has you in His arms,
I have you in my heart.”

R. I. P. Jim. You will be missed.
