I MADE IT HOME

I just wanted to let you know I made it home. Everything is so pretty here, so fresh, so new. I wish that you could close your eyes so you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand. God is taking care of me…I’m in the shelter of His hands. Here there is no sadness, and no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying, and I’ll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful, when all the angels sing. I really have to go now…I’ve just got to try my wings. PS…I’ll be the first face you see when you get here!

    It’s with the deepest sympathies for your loss. Jim was an enigma, he left quite a mark at our company, and I cannot say how much she truly meant because it was great. Hugs and prayers to all his family and friends and I’m sure he’s wearing a chicken hat with Elton John glasses and disco balls hanging off of them in heaven, making everybody smile like he did here on earth bless you rest in peace Jim, your friends at Flatbed Express.

    Cassidy, Brooklynn and all Kirk family members-
    I had the honor of meeting Jimmy through family and it will always be a joy to have memories of him. Cassidy he was and will always be so damn proud of you, never forget that.
