A Silent Tear

Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I'm really still there inside your mind

Don’t cry for me now I'm gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, Ill never grow old
I'm in that place that’s filled with love

Known to you all,as heaven up above god bless you.

One year on and I still miss you so much and think of you always.
You were such an amazing man, you taught me so much and always had time for each of us. We always had such fun with you and I wish so much that my children could have known you like I did.
I love you Grandad, always and forever xxx

Jim, they say time heals a broken heart, I know that's not true. My heart will never mend it broke the day that I lost you. I've only my memories and photo's of you. I often sit in the conservetory playing our Bing Crosby CDs listening to our favourite songs till the tears begin then I think of the wonderful 61 years we spent together and hear you say "DON'T BE SAD WE'LL BE TOGETHER ONE DAY."
Forever in my heart
Goodnight Sweetheart

"Uncle Jim"

The Patton Family was stationed at High Wycombe Air Base from 1963-1966. Part of that time, we lived at Routes Green, Bledlow Ridge. Just down the lane from Jim and Florence Bowers.
The Bowers family took us in and befriended our family. They included us in many of their activities. Christmas was my favorite celebration. They made it so memorable.
"Uncle" Jim and "Auntie" Florence always made us feel at home when we visited.
I will always remember and charish the short time we had together.
I often wish I could get back to England to visit, and wish that I had been able to see "Uncle Jim" one last time.
I want to say, Rest In Peace, "Uncle" Jim. You are always in my heart and memories.
I often think of Norman and Carole as well.
I especially remember the day that JFK was assasinated, Carole was babysitting while my mom and dad were at a dance at the base. I was only about 9 years old, but it had a very profound effect on me when I heard the news. Carole did her best to console me.

OUR UNCLE JIM

what can i say?where do i start?.uncle jim,you were the best uncle anyone could ever wish for.as a child i loved to visit you on holiday,with my mam, dad,johnny,and sylvia,we were always made welcome.we would have some great times and fun together,you were forever playing tricks on us,too many to mension.one that sticks in my mind is when we used to go to"hell fire caves",we used to hide from everyone and jump out on them when we heard them coming.we once jumped out on a young couple snogging behind a wall, oops!.
when i grew up and got married i would bring my family on holiday ,and again just like in the begining you would make us all welcome and we would have great fun together,our children grew to love you as we did.our times together will be eched in our hearts forever,you were a true gentleman right to the end,its been an honour to call you OUR UNCLE JIM XXX
