Dear Jane,
Sorry this is so late. But I wanted to let you know you are on my thoughts and prayers 🙏. Jim and I graduated from McCaskey High School🏫 in 1979, but we knew each other in Jr high as well.
I hope this note 🙏 finds you in ☮️ peace and in good health. Please accept my sincere 🙏 condolences.
Dear Jane,
He is Gone.
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.
