Dear Jim, dear friend and one of the best of people, I wish I could be there to say goodbye.
With much love, as always

The Beatles playing from your room
Led Zeppelin going boom boom boom
memories of a musical range
going to the shop and keep the change
walking down the street kicking stones
we will miss you to our bones
never missed our birthdays always there for us
even when I wrecked your bike you never made a fuss
Goodbye big Brother in our hearts you will stay
the noise has gone your at peace today.

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
For my big brother, I love you, without you I would never be the person I am today.

Jim I'm sorry I can't be there for your final journey on this earth.
May the music give serinity on your stairway to heaven. I will miss you big brother, Christmas Eve will never be the same again. As John Mayall would sing

Jim, God bless kid.
In memory you will always be singing Rocky Raccoon and taking a wee run to kick a stone. Believe me, son, there are many hands to hold yours as you lay your head down.
Ever in so many hearts.
Love Gerry
