I hope this video and the one before are a comfort to you, Trinity. At a time like this, it is sometimes best to hold someone's hand but since we can't do that, please know that comfort is all around you...or at least trying to reach you.

It was my hope that Gaffer would be around MUCH longer but, secondly, I hoped and prayed that if Gaffer wasn't to get better, he'd not have to endure the pain and suffering that mom went through with her cancer. Having said this, I long to HEAR Gaffer's voice one day instead of simply read his posts and if we could hear Gaffer now, he'd probably be telling us something like; "over here, the sun always shines.....we're having a time, if you only knew":

My friend Eddie was the one kind enough to help me with the latest images. I asked him to do the black ribbons, and he was kind enough to make some additional choices for us to look at. Let me know what you guys think - and Trinity, let us know your thoughts if you see this.

Well like I told you earlier, I am partial to black it's my favorite color. So I like the bottom two.

We have the current black, and then the too that are more transparent, and with color to match the board, which are the 2 you pointed out. Obviously you're choice will carry more weight with this. Do you like the current get up better? By no means am I looking to change it, just offering alternatives.

From a web designers point of view, I prefer the second to last.

It blends better with the background, the other one has to much red shadow that doesn't blend right with the background.

Ok, it's up there now, what do you think?

Beautiful tribute Jim. Great idea.

I like them, but can I make a suggestion? It almost seems to busy on the left side. What if you moved both dad and Merlin over to the right at the same angel. Closer to the eagle but no need to overlap them with the clouds just kind of next to the clouds.


Sorry not trying to tell you what to do, it's your board. Just trying to help you make it more balanced for the eye.

Absolutely! I'll ask him to check out your suggestion and make that change. I am removing the other logos, so once they're removed, it will be crowded to the left. I'll put the original back on the right and let him know...

Don't worry about that!!

Ok, got the original back on the top/right. Now we'll hopefully have the ribbons moved from the top/left over to the right. I sent off an email already. And the ribbons that are up there now would be what you would like, just on the other side, correct?

I liked the 2nd to last of the 5 you showed in this thread. Move Merlin and dad closer to the clouds and lose the other ones you have there for dad now. And it will be rockin!

Ok, cool, just the move needs to be done... or should I say that the one on the right needs to have the ribbons added, and then I'll put the original image back on the left. But I'll keep it there until Eddie can make the change for me.

May all of our memories of Gaffer keep him near.




In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the Gods, let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay
Remind me again it's worth it all
So I can go home
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I'll love you till the end of time

I just saw this and words are very hard to come by as this knocked the wind out of me a bit. I am pretty new here and Gaffer was very welcoming and easy to converse with.

Trinity please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.
