Carolyn my wife of 48 yrs. passed away July 4, 2009 with Lewy Body Syndrome in our home. I was her 24/7 caregiver in our home 10 yrs until the end time.

Hello,
Thank you for your kind words. It helps my grief to share myself thru music to others and when someone sheds a tear, it helps ease the pain and mend my broken heart.

Thank you
Jim Brian

Hello Lisa,
I visited your blog today, I think you are a very brave person. I wish I had some intelligent words to tell you but I don`t. I will try to go on, I know she would want me to, like the love theme song from Titanic, My Heart Will Go On. May God be with you thru this journey.

Jim,
What a wonderful tribute to your wife.
Bet she is in a "booth" listening to your love songs.
Of Course I cried thru The Last Valley but it was so moving.
I have been a widow for 23 years and this just summed it up beautifully.
Thank you for sharing and May you have peace with your wonderful memories until you meet in The Last Valley.

Sheryl726 & Rosas daughter,

Thank you for the kind words, I was blessed to have Carolyn in my life for 48 yrs and thankful I could be her 24/7 caregiver for 10 yrs until she didn`t need me any more and that was July 4, 2009. The songs were the out come of the journey in our life together.
