Thank you so much for your service.

Thank you for your service, my heart goes out to the family that lost this man too soon.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

As long as you are remembered you will never truly die....

Jimmy you were like another brother to me. I was always at your house with your sister. You teased me relentlessly, just like my blood brothers. At breakfast though you always gave me the last biscuit because you knew we didn’t have them at my house. Think of you often and miss you a bunch.
