WHEN I'M GONE
When I'm gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had those precious years.
I gave you my love.
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you
have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if you must, then let your
grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part, so bless the
memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me call, and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love
around you
soft and clear.
When you must come this way
alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say,
"WELCOME HOME".

MY SON |
When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart. For everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
God looked around his garden and found an empty stall.
He then looked on Earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his
arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's Garden must
be beautiful-He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,He knew you were in pain,
He knew you would never get well on Earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were
hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids, and
whispered "PEACE BE THINE".
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go
alone, for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
I gave you your very last kiss,
on that day I buried you.
I held you tight,
you had no tears that day.
Now you're gone, my tears are here to stay.
Just Yesterday
I held you for the last time.
On that day
I was cold, scared, and crying.
I held you tight,
as my tears fell away.
We have no more tomorrows,
no more todays.
What we have between us are-
JUST YESTERDAYS

JOHN'S SON |
No-one will ever know the torment and agony this little fellow has
went thru. His dad, his best friend, his whole world just ripped from him. There is no way to make him understand.
Their thing together was his sons sports. He taught him everything he knew about football and baseball-and he taught him well. He has made him a very avid player. John lives on in his sons sports thru him, altho his son has a natural ability that John never had.

Miles may seperate us as life goes on;
but the bond we share remains ever strong.

JOHN'S
FAITHFUL COMPANION

You will never be lonely from the start of each day to its end if you walk life's pathway with love in your heart, and side by side with a friend.

JOHN'S BEST FRIEND
|
This is the best friend a person could ever have. The two of them started kindergarden together and played together even before that. These are not-see a friend every day type. They both led their own lives but remained friends until the end. It really does a mothers heart good
to know that her son had a true friend like this. It was friendship
that is rare.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
This was given to me on Mother's Day by John in 1980. I have carried it in my billfold ever since.
You may e-mail me if you like or I would love for you to sign my guestbook. Glad to hear from you.JOAN MILES
This cute little fellow is Sammy and very gentle. We love to have him come to visit. His home is with Kristy, John's cousin. She lets him come quite often. If you would like to see more of Sammy, just tickle him with your mouse and it will take you to his home.
