In Memory
Perhaps in a lifetime one is fortunate enough to know a soul whose spirit radiates with light. I have been blessed and have known many. Words most often fail us in summarizing a life. So I won't try. Instead, here is a simple marker for those wounderful souls I have known.

JESSE BOYD “J. B.” NICHOLSON
(Unknown)
“I sing of dreams to pass the time,
As I drift 'tween heaven and hell,
And I quote a sweet but haunting rhyme,
For the souls I've known, as well.
I say farewell as best as I can,
With the sadly lacking eloquence of man,
But the words are never grand,
Enough to honor ...”
