Hey Paula! So glad to see you come back and check in with all of us. Did you take that mini vacation with the Challenger to Galveston? Hold onto them memories, hold them close in time things will come around for you, but don't YOU ever give up living! Death sucks,I think about it all the time and I see life still goes on. I went to a memorial service Saturday for Ron's very close cousin's wife who passed away unexpectantly in a hotel room on their way back from visiting her son in GA, she had a blood clot in her lung. I was raised Catholic, this memorial service was at a Lutheren church. The pastor showed a 30 minute or so cd video that was called The Road to Isthmas I think I can't remember exactly and it was really interesting in talking about Death and God and Jesus and put into persective death. I am most definately NOT a religion pusher but this movie was interesting. I was trying to find what prayer I picked out for my mother, I loved it but I couldn't but here are some really good ones to maybe help you get back to living life as Jim I'm sure wants you too. OOXX
Weep if you must
Parting is hell
But life goes on
So sing as well.

Going To Heaven
When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do. You mustn�t tie yourselves to me with tears, just be happy that we had some years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it�s time I traveled on alone. Do grieve a while for me if you must then let your grief be comforted by trust. It�s only for a while that we must part, so keep our memories within your hearts. I won�t be far away, for life goes on, so if you need me call and I will come. Though you can�t see or touch me I�ll be near, and if you listen with your heart you will hear, all of my love around so soft and dear. And then when you must come this way alone, I�ll greet you with a smile and say welcome home.
Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little-but not too long, and not with your head bowed low, remember the love that we once shared. Miss me but let me go. For this a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me but let me go
