Dearest Donna we are so very sorry to hear that Jim has Passed but that he passed in Peace surrounded by his loved ones is a Blessing. I am a true believer that someone’s Spirit is all around and one day you will feel and know that. I have a poem I love and am sending it to you in hopes it helps just a bit:
If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, My Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eye 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 of what 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.
