Tammy and James have been a very close client and not to mention close friends since the day that Tammy asked if I could retake her wedding portraits and fix the originals that were taken by another photographer. She has graced me with her beauty and kindness as a person and James is one of those guys that anyone can have a great time with as there is a funny, humorous side to him that I liked from the beginning. Both of them are great together and when Tammy told me she was pregnant I was very excited for the both of them. Tammy had big plans as far as photography with maternity shoots and even photography at the birth which I have done in the past before. But life and God always seems to have a plan of his own and Tammy gave birth to Landon James and Zoey Taylor at only 20 weeks. The twins only lived for a few hours and unfortunately James is in the Navy and could not get back in time to see them as he was in Ohio at the time. Tammy and James, both Amy and I would like to give our deepest sympathy too you and James as well as your family and this poem below means something to Amy and I for the loss that both of us have had in the past with love one’s that have past away and hope you find comfort in it.
I am not there
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain’s rim,
I am the laughter in children’s eyes,
I am the sand at the water’s edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
You our in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything Amy and I can do for you and James please don’t hesitate to ask..
