Merry Christmas from Heaven

My good friend Julie gave me a beautiful Christmas ornament today, with the following poem. Thanks Julie - you truly are amazing.

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintery nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thakful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.

Interesting how he has the same initals as Joe, written the year Tom was born.

Thank you for all your cards, letters and support. These last weeks have been pretty rough for Gina, Tom & I. We have visited Joe's grave several times and his headstone, and mine, will be in place in March.

Tomorrow is Joe's 47th birthday. Please do something with him him mind.

With love and many tears
