    I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the obit so we could get to know a bit more of the full life Jim lived. I was especially touched by your saying that half of tour heart is now in heaven.

    Take care of yourself and check in at times to let us know how you are doing.

    Dear Janet, I am so very sorry to read about Jim’s “relocation” and as he fought for his country with dignity, pride and honor he also gave the same fight to this CC!
    Janet, my Teddy also relocated on Dec. 6th 5 years ago.
    Below imagine the poem is from Jim to his sweet Janet:

    If I should be the first to go,
    And leave you alone, my Dear,
    Let not your heart be lonely,
    Nor in your eyes a tear.
    Grieve not for me, my Darling,
    I’ll not be far away,
    With petals of love and tenderness,
    I’ll pave for you the way.
    To join me in our sanctuary,
    And ne’er again we’ll part.
    Grieve not for me, my Darling,
    I live within your heart.
    Take joy again in living,
    As you did in years gone by;
    God knows what of he’s doing,
    And not be questioned why.
    Grieve not for me, my Darling,
    My life with you on earth
    Each moment filled with happiness,
    And love so few be worth.
    I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart
    Where skys are ever blue,
    With eager heart and open arms
    Patiently, for you.
    Grieve not for me, my Darling,
    May faith and my love keep.
    Your soul filled with contentment
    Eternally, I sleep.

    Happy New Year’s Eve Everyone,

    It’s been a very difficult year with very good and very sad memories.
    I want to thank you all for your knowledge, support and caring over these many month’s.

    Sunday, Dec 6th, 2015 at 12:30pm my sweet Jim went home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He went peacefully and without pain as I held his hand.
    He has fought the good fight, has finished the race and has kept the faith. There is laid up for him the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to him on that Day, and not to just him only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7)
    Half of my heart is in heaven now, but the Lord has filled that empty space that was left behind with comfort, hope, peace, love and many memories to sustain me until that day we are together again.
    I have good days and sad days, but on the sad days the Lord is there to lift my head and comfort me.
    Everyone grieves differently and I know it is a process. I still do not know what mine is, but I am surrounded by friends, family and loved one’s who give in abundance and at time’s I have to kick them out of my house so I can just have some alone time. :)
    But all in all I am pushing forward because Jim made me promise to celebrate Christmas (which I did with his family), to go forward with the plans we had made of moving to our farm in North East Tennessee (which is in motion as I type) and to find joy again in life, which I have on some days on other’s it’s more difficult, but I struggle through those days or climb up into my heavenly Father’s lap and cry, which he is always faithful to comfort and give peace.
    I know it will take time, but will continue to put one foot in front of the other knowing that the Lord is with me and will never leave nor forsake me.

    Thank you all so much again for all you do and for the love you share with other’s going through this raging storm.

    I am including Jim’s obit so you can know a little more about him and us.
    He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him as well as those who crossed his path in this life.

    JAMES BLAINE MILLER, JR. OBIT:

    Ponder, TX – James “Jim” Blaine Miller, Jr. passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, December 6th, 2015 after a 14 month battle with Biliary Cancer.
    He was born on October 22nd, 1955 in Detroit, MI to Betty Jo and James Blaine Miller Sr. His father proceeded him in death.
    Jim is survived by his loving wife of 12 years Janet Lee Miller, his son James Blaine Miller III, his mother Betty Jo Robinson, his sister Deborah Creasy Dirickson, his brother’s David and Danny Creasy and many nieces, nephews and a host of extended family and loving friends.
    Jim was raised in Limestone, Tennessee on his families homestead which was never far from his mind or heart. He entered the US Army in 1982 and separated honorably 10 years later in 1992. He proceeded to enlist in the US Air Nat’l Guard and served 8 years for a total of 18 years of service to our country. He served with distinction, pride and honor.
    Jim and Janet met in 2000 and become fast friends and quickly realized they were soul mates. They married on August 8th, 2003 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
    Jim was an avid fisherman, sports gunman and craftsman. He loved to wood work and was a lover of stray animals, especially cats of which he rescued every chance he got.
    At the time of his death they would not leave his side. He leaves behind, Gazelle 12, Cricket 8, Sampson 7 and Smokey 2.
    In latter years Jim entered the security industry and quickly climbed the ranks to become site supervisor over 27 guards at 5000 person facility, all of whom loved and respected him dearly because of his good natured attitude, fairness, work ethic and genuine love for people. When asked how his day was going his classic response was, “Always Good”.
    But above all Jim loved the Lord and never passed up a chance to pray over and share the love of Jesus Christ with all those who would listen.
    I have no doubt that the crown of glory he earned is so big that he has already laid it at the feet of Jesus. Jim will be deeply missed by all who knew him an encountered him even so briefly.
    In Lieu of flowers please prayerfully Donate to “Jim’s Celebration of Life” on Crowdrise at: https://www.crowdrise.com/jimscelebrationofliv/fundraiser/janetmiller2 to assist with final expenses to ease the financial and emotional burden of the family.
    Thank you and God bless.

    Oh, thanks Janet. I can feel the love. I just want to add that real love conquers time and space. I know. Great pictures.

    Thank you Lainy.
    We did a photo shot with a friend of ours 4 years ago. That was one of many. I tried to make one of our favorite photos as small as possible to make it my profile photo, but couldn’t make it small enough to fit, so I will share a couple of photos of my beloved an I in this post.
