I was just thinking about the last time I saw any of you, back in '92 for J.B.'s surprise 40th birthday party. It was a shock when I googled his name to find out all we have lost since then. Sometimes it just seems like too much. I lost both my parents and my life partner, Dee, in the last three years. I still struggle to keep my balance, but it does come, however slowly. I don't consider myself to be a religious person but the following anonymous prayer has often given comfort:

The time may be delayed,
the manner may be unexpected,
but the answer is sure to come.

Not a tear of sacred sorrow,
nor breath of holy desire
poured out to God will ever be lost,
But in God's own time and way
will be wafted back again in clouds of mercy and fall in shower of blessings upon you and those for whom you pray.

Let nothing trouble you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass away.
God never changes.
Nothing is wanting to thou who posseses God.
God alone suffices.

Take care.

We were saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. So soon after his dear sister passed on. Words can't express our grief for the family. He is in God's hands now with his mom, dad and sister. God bless all of you.

Chris , Carol and Families,
So very sorry to read of Jim's sudden death, in the paper. I knew him and Chet, from years back, when Fisher Body was still around, and when I was still in the neighborhood, and worked at the Mood. My sympathies, to you and your families.
