Valdez -- "Jimmy We Hardly Knew You"November 26, 1946 - December 16, 1977 To know him was to love him, A worthy brother, young in years. His voice is now silent, We miss him, we mourn him. In our hearts he shall ever live, Of days that might have been. The pain we knew he had, Courageous to the end. In that place up yonder, We hope a spot is taken. Where the Lord has said, "Come with me my son To your everlasting home." Until we meet again Jim, We love you and God bless.
