Surrounded By Females;

No other person in this world could be as blessed to have such a wonderful brother-in-law as I am. James has been like a brother to me for the many years he was with us. Always there to lend a hand if you needed anything - always there to lend an ear if you needed to talk about anything... Loved my sister, his daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters so much and his family - this man will surely be missed by us all. There are so many memories we have of James and believe me we can share them with a lot of tears and smiles. His memory will be with us for always...




In Memory of James Carroll McBride
1/7/40 - 3/21/09

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Poor James we used to kid him about being surrounded by females all the time;
he didn't stand a chance with us when we all gathered -
luckily our brother would show on some occasions.
This poem speaks for itself -



Surrounded By Females

Young and in love he never had a chance
As partnering in life he did the dance
All grown up with very few misters
This man was blessed with so many sisters
Quite a sense of humor, kept us laughing a lot
Surrounded by females he found his spot
One was his wife through vows they made
Two were his daughters as through life they played
Even two female dogs for their family pets
Surrounded by females he had no regrets
Two daughters grown up and on their way
With lives of their own there on display
Three little granddaughters come along
Surrounded by females he sang the cradlesong
One granddaughter grew up and she married
Now two great-granddaughters he loved and babied
Surrounded by females who loved him so
God took his hand saying “it’s time to go”
In poor health for so many years
We all said ‘goodbye’ through prayers and tears
Later that evening standing by his grave
He was surrounded by females getting ribbons to save.

We miss you James

It will be the little things that you will remember,

the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter.

And although it may seem hard right now,

it will be the memories of these little things

that help to push away the pain

and bring the smiles back again.

Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh
And talk of me as if I were beside you.
I loved you so—‘twas heaven here with you -
James * (Daddy & Papaw)

A plastic-type sneaker coordinator over your resort front door can keep you organized. It is sometimes complicated to keep organized away from home, with little to no storage area other than your suitcase. Put an coordinator around your bathroom front door if you appear, the kind together with the very clear pockets is best. It can be used to save your basics and maintain them where it's easy to find.
