J.B. died at the age of 66 from cancer. He was a friend to many and never met a stranger. He would help anyone in any way he could, he loved his family and he loved children, not just his own, but all children. He always had a smile on his face and a friendly word to everyone. He worked hard all his life and didn't let things get him down, not even the cancer that took him from those he loved. Safely Home I am now at home in heaven All's so happy, all so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over Every restless tossing past; I am now in peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the Valley of the Shade? Oh! but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idle stand; Do your work while life remaineth; You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of the meeting! Oh, the joy to see you come! author unknown J.B. is survived by his wife Katherine, three children, Nicky, Johnny and Tracey. Two grandchildren, Jackie and Joey and adopted grandchildren Jennie, Laurie, Douglas, Heather, Lisa, William, Kery, Chance and Kandis and many many friends. The Greatest Man I Ever Knew The gretest man I ever knew Always stood by me And would stand by you too. His touch was soft His voice could be stern Now with you gone I have lessons to learn. I hope I said I love you Enough that you would know Now we have to say good bye It's time to let you go. Letting you go Is the hardest thing I'll ever have to do You'll always be in my heart I have my memories too. Letting you go is hard But I have to face the facts Knowing now you're gone for good And never coming back The love we have for him Will never go away He will take it with him On his final day When he leaves this earth He will always be missed But he knows he won't leave Without his final kiss We love you Daddy Katherine, Nicky, Johnny & Tracey Jackie & Joey Please take a moment and sign our guestbook ~Thank You~
