You my Son
Have shown me God
Your kiss upon my cheek
Has made me feel the gentle touch
Of Him who leads us on....

Thinking of you and your family

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones on this very blessed of all holidays. There are no special words I can say to ease the pain that all of your loved ones live with on a daily basis except that you will never be forgotten. I know how you Mom feels and I leave the following for her:

"The sense of loss does not diminish with time. In truth, the experession, 'time heals all wounds' is a myth. For parents, the loss of a child is permanent and mental scar tissue really does not grow over the grim memory. Rather, all tears are expended and a dull ache remains."
(Brockinger's - Bereaved Parents)

Donald was one of the most positive people I have ever known and his life was taken way too soon. I am honored to call him one of my friends.

When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel the last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbered and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fourght some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day.
But in summer just gather some flowers
Aand remember the place where I lay,

And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

Almost 10 years. Too long.
Love Mom

Well Donald, it will be 10 years since you left us. The pain is the same. You used to make me laugh so hard at times that I would actually cry.

Today we remember Officer Julie Jacks. Rest easy Sir!
