If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love
To go along the silent way,
Grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you there
For I will come-I'll come!
Would I not find a way,
Were tears and grief not be barriers?
And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let your thoughts of me be sad.
For I am loving you just as I always have . . .
You who were so good to me!
There are so many thing I wanted still to do-
So many things to say to you . . .
Remember, please, that I did not fear death.
It was just leaving you that was so hard to face.
You cannot see beyond this life
But this you know . . . I loved you so
Never doubt that I am with you still!
For love does not die with the body
And nothing in heaven or on earth
Can keep apart those who love.

IN LOVING MEMORY
of
OUR FRIEND
JAMES "JIM" THIER
We knew Jim because he married our friend MaryJane. Although we never met either one of them in real life, we have felt a closeness because of the friendship that we have built on the Internet and have shared over the years. Jim will be greatly missed by all that knew him. May MaryJane and the rest of his family be comforted by the knowledge that although his body has died, his spirit lives on and that one day they all will be reunited in that land where there is no more dying, no more pain, and no more sorrow.
Jim served for 20 years in the US Air Force. He was so proud to have been in that branch of service and loved serving his country. Because of that love, we have chosen to play the Air Force song for the background music on this page.
Rest in Peace our friend.
With Love,
Angel, Jim, Kenny, Bette, Lynn, Christine, Linda, JD, Dede, Dick, Monette, Nancy, Issac, Nettie, Barb, Shirley, Richard, Carol N, and Eddie J.
