Jesus showed us that light always follows darkness. Don't curse the darkness and light a candle.

Without Faith we are like stained glass windows in the dark.

Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship. Mitch Alborn

Life is eternal, and live is immortal, and death is only  horizon, and a horizon is nothing same the limits of our sight.  Rossiter Worthington Raymond.

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shiines down upon us to let us know they are happy.  Eskimo Legend

When someone dies, you don't get over it by forgetting; you get over it by remembering, and you are aware that no person is ever truly lost or gone once they have been in our life and loved us, as we have loved them.  Leslie Marman Silko

What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.  Helen Keller

The measure of life, after all, is not it's duration but it's donation.  Peter Marshall

Death is God's sign that we learned the lessons we needed to learn in this lifeime and He is welcoming us home.

Memories are a gift from God to those left behind.  They bring comfort, joy and laughter, and they enable me to live forever in the hearts of those I love.  Nancy Groves

As I looked at the memories of Jim and family I see the love of family and friendships over the years. On prayer cards at most funerals we see the 23rd Psalm.  Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear no evel, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I am also reminded that in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

I will not be with you at the funeral.  May you and your family accept my sympathies and may your memories be your gift. His smile and hugs, warmth of heart, stories and music be with you always.

In loving memory.

David J. Bjorkman
