Thank you my friend! You have been there through the past 10 years of the struggles that he faced and seen the fight that he gave in the past 4 years! You are right...he was a fighter and kept bouncing back, no matter what. His motto was "I CAN AND I WILL" and he overcome so much in his life. But, this time it was to fast for him to have a chance to bounce. He is now at peace and with the angels and he is here with us in spirit. I feel him everyday still giving me the encouragement I need. I can hear him telling me...Mom, It is ok. Don't worry. He always said that to me. I love you Deb, thank you for wiping my tears everyday.

Thank you Tim! He had so many good friends from the Hancock House. You all looked after him and I so appreciated that. The memorial dinner was such a great tribute to him, and to have his chair tipped up and his coffee there on the table for him! That was just awesome of everyone that was involved in the dinner. I am sure he is there with you all.

BJ fought a fight like no one I've known. He got knocked down with so many trials and he always found the strength to get back up. I think BJ made it on this earth as long as he did because he refused to give up. His positive attitude we can all learn from. He's in Gods house now never to be knocked down again. Completely restored and at total peace. God bless you to all BJ's family. My deepest sympathy.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me.When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me,I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,And that I'd have to leave behind,all those things I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,I'd say goodbye and kiss you,and maybe see you smile.But then I fully realized, that could never be,For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne.He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.Today your life on Earth is past, and here it starts anew"."I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,And since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past"."But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,Though there were times you did some things, you know you shouldn't do"."But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,So won't you take my hand now and share My life with Me".So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,For every time you think of me, I'm right
