Between Friends: JIM

Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,

their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in

June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing

the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann

liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and

Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,

the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog

site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK

(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the

computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share

yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

So much to say about Jim

his humor, his devotion to Catholicism, his playing the clarinet, his dog

his character of integrity, his ability to teach himself everything and others

He was my lover, my teacher, my best friend

Love poems said it all

We shared a life of milk and honey

Ate dinner, walked the dog, Cocoa

In the end all you have is your memories

I take them forward

7 and one half years of my life

In the presence of this man

Everyday the back and forth phone calls

Every night the dinners

Coffee and vanilla ice cream with strawberries

In the den

Mr. Lexus loved his car

And now he has gone to Heaven to be with the angels

Let G-d carry him to a place of peace and blessings

He was a blessing!
