Another year ?  Cannot believe the speed with which the years fleet away.  Jimmy Hotep, now a cybermate dating back over 25 years.   "Our Wally" is now 61 and a grandfather in his own right. .  .  am attempting to post some Happy Snaps to share with family.  You were his Dad - and, eternally,  his hero.  

I miss the late night rump sessions with Song of the South playing guitar, the singalongs and comrarderie of LDSSingles Online . . so few from those halcyon days remain this side of the veil.   I know beyond shadow of doubt you have been called to serve in His gloriou fields mate and look to a time when we may reunite to swap tall tales and true of this womderful life.  "Mourn not for him,  for life is sweet but,  forget him not". . .  

Eternally yours in loving friendship,  The Dali Loma - Wonder from Dwon Under !

Cyber friend for over 20 years - first met Jimmy Hotep on LDSSingles online way back at the turn of the Century.  Loved and admired by all who knew him. . . Miss the rump sessions of old,  kind sir.   A gentleman and true friend,  until we all meet again.       

Condolences to family and friends . . .   "Mourn not for me,  for life is sweet but,  forget me not". . .

Love you grandpa. Thank you for the summers on the farm, eating fresh watermelon hearts till we could burst and throwing the rest away. Thanks for putting me to work bailing hay, and hoeing weeds out the cotton fields till the Arizona sun nearly killed me. Thanks for teaching me how to shoot a gun, skin a rabbit and filet a tilapia. Thanks for teaching me how to drive a tractor. Thanks for not skinning me when I drove it through your ditch.

You were among the last of the true cowboys, ranchers and family farmers. I regret that my kids have no fields to hoe, tilapia to filet and hay bales to pile high. It was hard, hot work, but I would not trade it for the luxuries of the world.

I know you are with Grandma again and all of our loved ones who have passed.
