Jolly,

Words can't express how sorry we feel for your loss. Mr. Goodfellow was a great man and a strong base for his family. He was great teacher and a man of good character. How do I know this? It is plainly evident as he lives on in you and your siblings. Your passion inspires others and touches lives every day.

I went through a loss a few years ago and someone handed me a slip of paper. It read:

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

I do not know the author but it brought me comfort. I wish you and your family peace of heart in the coming days.

Sorry to hear this Jolly.
My condolences to you and your family, I will keep you and yours in my thoughts.

Know that he is now home with the Lord.


2 Corinthians 5:6-8 ESV

So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Having just lost my "Hero" on May 5th, I know how you feel. Not a day goes by I don't think about him and wish I would have gotten this '62 done in time to go for a ride. I find peace knowing he isn't hurting anymore and he will alway be with me. Peace to you and your family as well.

When I must leave you
for a little while,

Please do not grieve
and shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow
to you through the years,

But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;

And for my sake
and in my name

Live on and do
all the things the same,

Feed not your loneliness
on empty days,

But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,

Reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near;

And never, never
be afraid to die,

For I am waiting
for you in the sky!

Take Care Jolly!!!!!
