Eternal Garden
You can no longer see me, but please know that I am there
I am the flowers in the garden, I am the wind beneath your hair
The memories that I left behind, shall forever be with you
As for me I am in heaven now, where my life will start anew
No longer do I suffer
No longer do I feel pain
I'm at peace watching you from heaven now
Until we meet again
I have always loved my flowers
With nature I was one
My flowers are in heaven now
As my time on Earth is done
I am planting my roses in heaven
My lilies and daisies too
For I want my garden to be perfect
On the day God calls for you
When you walk through the gates of Heaven
I will take you by the hand
And lead you to my eternal garden
Where we will shall never part again...

My sisters and I are very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We spend wonderful weeks with Jim at the Farm, always welcoming our family (and putting us to work doing odd jobs around the farm). He was especially dear to my late Mom Anje Danser, her visits from Holland were a highlight for her each year.
Our sincere condolences to all of Jim's family and friends.

RIP Uncle Jim. I have such wonderful memories of our family times at Marburg. You were such a precious man, a kind and generous uncle who was always giving us a piece of history of family, farm or just life in general. I will cherish the memories always. ❤ Joanne

Dr. Cruise was my first year botany professor at U of T, and my A in that class helped me to think I could handle this university stuff after all!

My sincere sympathies to all the family on your loss of Jim. He was skilled at so many things, especially at showing love and kindness to others. His gift of a beautiful Grand Piano, to Grace United Church, has brought much Joy to others. Cheryl Copeman skillfully brings out its joyful sound at Church services and events. Jim will be greatly missed, but remembered weekly during music moments.
