Jim Douglas
In loving memory of Jim Douglas
August 14, 1942 - December 24, 2002
In tears we saw your suffer,
We watched you fade away,
Our pride for you so strong,
As you fought so hard to stay,
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
Love your family.
