Missing someone isn't about how long its been
since you've seen them last or the amount of time
since you've last talked.
It's about the very moment when you're
doing something and you wish that
they're right there with you.  

I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.
I miss the things I used to do with you
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,
I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea,
A teardrop in a desert.
I miss your presence, like a silent chord
That anchored even solitude in grace.
All these I miss, and yet they are all here
Within my heart, far more than I can bear.

 

As long as
There is time
As long as
There is love

As long as
I have breathe
to speak your name
I will Love you 

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, James Gooding who was born in Florida on March 07, 1957 and passed away on May 07, 2006 at the age of 49. We will remember him forever. 

Anyone who knew Jim knew what a wonderful man he was. He never had a mean or unkind thing to say to anyone. He was a loving Husband, Father,Son and Brother and Brotherin-law. And friend to many.

The Worlds greatest Grandpa and Uncle because what meant most to him besides all of us were the kids, From playing like a Big kid himself with them to following all his nieces and nephews in their sports, He knew more then us sometimes.

 
 Jim, was a big Kid himself so full of love and life, he will always be right here in my heart.  He loved sports anything you can think of he was always keeping his stats moving around players on his fantasy teams something he loved doing. Jim loved the ohio state football,basketball anything ohio team and he loved them, Well except maybe one team haha that was our rival lol he rooted for cincy and me the browns but we had fun. I always knew when he was watching a football game when they got a touchdown you would hear him yell "Touchdown" and  just know those arms were up like a field goal post, He did love his sports
