In Memoriam*
JIM PENTLAND
In loving memory of a husband/stepdad/papa,
who passed away five years ago, October 7,
2004.
There is a bridge of memories,
From here to Heaven above,
That keeps you very close to us,
It's called the bridge of love.
As time goes by without you,
And days turn into years,
They hold a million memories,
And a thousand silent tears.
We miss you every day and know you watch
over us. Miss you, Wendy, Tabitha, Aaron,
Amanda, Colton and Hannah. —41x

Papa,
We are told the day
you left, you didn't say
goodbye,
God- was calling our
papa home, there was
no time to ask why:
You can't be here to hug and play,
But you're watching us grow from heaven
every day.
My mom tells us she remembers how much you
loved and cared,
We will cherish all the memories that are
shared. .
You're missed very much, love Colton and
Hannah. -41
