(In Memory of James Michael Wilder)
THERE WERE SOME THINGS TO DO, AND OTHERS I WANTED TO SAY. YET, I
NEVER GOT AROUND TO THEM - THINGS JUST GOT IN THE WAY. I WANTED TO SAY I LOVED YOU, I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY. So VERY MUCH I HAD TO SAY TO YOU ALL, AS I TRIED TO SAY "GOODBYE."
I LONGED TO TELL YOU ALL, YOU MEANT SO VERY MUCH. YOUR LAUGH TER, YOUR SUPPORT AND ESPECIALLY YOUR LOVING TOUCH. I WAS SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LOVE AND PATIENCE AND I HAD VOWED TO TRY TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME, BUT I HAD TO SAY "GOODBYE."
I LIVED MY LIFE SO CAREFREE, YET I DO HAVE THIS TO SAY ... GOD IN HlS INFINITE MERCY, DID VISIT WITH ME ONE DAY. I HAVE NO MORE PAIN OR SUFFERING, JUST JOY AND RICHES UNTOLD. As JESUS TAKES MY HAND, "GOODBYE."
I, JAMES MICHAEL WILDER, CAN SEE THOSE STREETS OF GOLD !!! For The Family - By: Minister Cecelia Thomp/cins
The family would like to express their sincere thanks to all for the acts of kindness that was shared during their time of sorrow. Words cannot express how thankful we are to each and every one of you.
