  3. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have had the privilege of meeting some of the brothers and working with Jim. Your Dad had to be proud of you all. Remember your Dad is not gone, just gone away to await you in another life.

  4. Rest in Peace Tom! For those of us still here, my favorite prayer

    Do not stand at my grave and weep.
    I am not there. I do not sleep.
    I am the thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glint on snow.
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
    When you awaken in the morning hush,
    I am the swift, uplifting rush, of quiet bird
    in encircled flight.
    I am the stars that shine at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there. I did not die.

  5. Janson family, so sorry to hear of your loss.
    One of my favorite messages:
    “What we once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us” Helen Keller.
    As the days go by you when will cry less, and just remember fondly more, may peace be with you.

  6. Janson Family, I am so sorry for your lose. It is never easy to lose a loved one. I did not know Tom long but I do know he was a extraordinary man. Always kind and willing to help. Please let me know if there is anything you need or anything that could make this time a bit easier. You are all in my thoughts.

  7. Joe and family,
    May the loss of your father and aunt be remembered with the positive and great memories you had together.
    My prayers and wishes go out to you, that your grief fade with those great memories as they become engraved in your heart.
