Condolences
To My friend Kim
Kim
As a long time friend to whom we have shared many things through our growing friendship none can compare with the loss of a Mother or Father. I wish I was able to be in PA for you. When you come back to Ft Myers we share your thoughts together.
I pray for you and your family that God sends his grace down on you and your family for wisdom and remembering all the things in life about you and your father.
I will be here for you anytime any place should you need that time to just be you.
With all my love and friendship
Paul
To a very special family

To this precious family in which I love-Love you Dad
Hi Dad I will bake cookies with Vanilla I bought you in Mexico! I love you Kim, Mom, Cindy and family!
This is for you Dad and Family!
Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone
Another new mom and dad,another school
Another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."
Young mom on her own
She needs a little help got nowhere to go
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find a place here in this world
"This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home."
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"
"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home."

I am so sad to hear of Jim's passing. He was a great guy and all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing him and enjoying his company will miss him and share in your loss. I will remember all of the fun times and hope you will focus on those, also, at this very difficult time. Hopefully, Jim is "winning big" in that card game upstairs with your Mom & Aunt Flo & Joe & Bob & Bobbie. My love to all of you-you will always be my family. Dolly

In memory of Jim
“You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
