To My Dear Husband With Love My love, my sweetheart...
I thank God for bringing us together. God could not have blessed with me a better man. Jim, you were my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my husband. You loved, provided, cared, supported and protected me at all times. I will miss our special times together especially our small talks while sitting at the kitchen table. Jim you were my rock! As heartbroken as I am today, I am evenly grateful. As we put the love of my life to rest today, we bury only your body. You left a legacy of how you touched the lives of so many, in the love that is visible in the eyes of our family and friends. Things will never be the same – but the world is better for the years you lived. I love you Jimmie!

Family Tributes If Roses Grow in Heaven
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane. We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say “Goodbye”. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache with sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you, No one can ever know. But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more; To remember all the happy times; Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, We pledge to you today, A hollowed place within our hearts is where you’ll always stay. ~ From Your Loving Children ~
If Roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for us. Place them in our Granddad’s arms And tell him they’re from us. Tell him that we love him and miss him, and when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for a while. We know you now watch over and protect us. We know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us. So, as time passes our tears will dry, our hearts will mend, but our love for you granddaddy, will never end. ~ From Your Loving Grandchildren ~
