we’re passing shadows
from dust to dust again;
Jim’s baptism~memorial
marked in same church.
his body now laid to rest
soul released into glory;
farmer planted in the soil
harvest is brought home.
casket bouquet features
corn, fishing pole, tractor;
children, grands & greats,
fruit of faithful marriage.
he outlived son & one lung,
now breathes heaven’s air;
entered the land of living…
those left behind will come

The loss of our older generation leaves a hole in the family history at times. May the Great Comforter surround your family.
