There are four things you can not recover.
The stone....after the throw!
The word....after the it's said!
The occasion....after the loss!
The time....after it's gone!



This website is made in honor of my brother,
and truly one of my very best friends.

James "Jimmy G" A. Gaudreau

Feb 5, 1976 - Aug 16,2005
(a timetable of his earthly presence)




If I could have one wish it would be, 
while you take the time to visit here, 
DO NOT BE SAD!
My brother is not dead, 
the carriage that has carried his soul 
through this life has expired.
Jim, lives on in the next realm. 
I know that we will meet once again...in time.






The song on the right
"No More In My Life"
was written by:
Jimmy G,
(lyrics and lead guitar)
and preformed with the
Twisted Willy's





 

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."



Jim  aka: Jimmy 

 He was wise beyond his years.
Jim, was born in Florida, 
to Robert R. Gaudreau (our dad) and to Dale B.Scholfield.
 His parents are loving and kind,
 those qualities radiated from my brothers heart in tenfold. 
He also has his older brother Chris Gaudreau,
 who in all reality is Jim's one bestfriend. 
Oh they fought, like brothers do,
 but never once did their love for one another fallter, 
NEVER was their true bond of brotherhood destroyed, 
for I believe they share the same heart.
("Be strong Chris, I love you, and am here if you need me"). 
A baby brother Jason Gaudreau, 
that only graced our lives for a few moments in time, 
making Jim proud to be the big brother.  
Jason, sparkles in the sky, as a bright star, 
lighting the path for Jim. 

      

 And then there is me, Katie Gaudreau-Tolliver,
 I am 12 years older than Jim, and at the time of his birth he did not interest me much, I miss the fact that I did not know how
 to appreciate a little brother at that time. 
But all was forgiven in time and 
he became the most wonderful brother/friend,
 I could of ever searched for and found.

Jim, had attended school in Florida, 
New Hampshire, and WV.  
His social and acceptance abilibties are amazing, 
for he never knew a stranger.

JIM   aka: JIMMYG

As a young adult, he got the opportunity to join with his friends 
in working with a moving company. 
He learned quickly, and soon found it something 
he very much enjoyed, he would say 
"I can pack and move someone faster 
and safer than the rest".
 He loved to travel,so with that start he  became a truckdriver 
for some well known moving companys.







Jim, loved music, for it was his passion, and was once voted the 
BEST blues guitarist south of the Mason-Dixon line. 
 he would call at 2am often and say 
  "listen to what I just wrote"    . 
(I'm gonna miss those calls.) 
He preformed with many local bands, 
and never forgot anyone he met.






 If music was to be his passion then that left 
fishing to be his fancy.





Jim, was a jack of all trades, 
there wasnt much he couldnt or wouldnt learn how to do.  
Jim, was always larger than life, everyday was an adventure, 
and every adventure was a challange.  
He had a positvie attitude in a ironic sorta way, he use to say,
 " When I wake up I'm believe it's gonna be a shitty day
so then if it's not, I am ecstatic, 
and if it is I am not let down or disappointed", 
I guess maybe a "ready for the world attitude"
Sometime along his life's journey here on earth 
he met a beautiful lady name Deena, and with his heart 
he loved her deeply,they spent many years sharing their love. 
For she taught him how to slow down 
if only for a second and smell the flowers .
My brother is not dead. 
The carriage that carried his soul, 
on this part of the journey may have expired, 
if you know Jim, trust that you will see him again. 
Not in the form of the Jim in which you are familiar. 
But if ever a soul to go on, a spirit to fly high,    
THAT WOULD BE MY BROTHER!
JAMES "JIMMY G" A. GAUDREAU
aka: Jimmy Bobo (Love Ya) 




"I'll be waiting for you on the farside banks of Jordan.
I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand, 
and when I see you coming,
 I will rise up with a shout and come running
through the shallow waters reaching for your hand."

                        



~Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. 
Leave the rest to God.~



A Friend is someone who reaches 
for your hand and touches your Heart!




Just wanted to let you all know: 

"Working for God on earth doesn't pay much......
but His retirement plan is out of this world !!!!"






The Contemplation of Who I am to Become Without HIM


Like a cobalt of lightning the news of his separation from this life hit me.
Like an eagle in the sky he has soared... a bird released, his path untraced in the sky.

Like a haunting ocean melody, my memory of him...and the contemplation of who I am to become without him.

And yet I remember myself laughing and then smiling as the shock tears came down. By the unshaking power of my brother I knew that he had saved me in this life.

If not only for my longing to be with him, I have already dedicated my life ahead, the ultimate spiritual journey to enlightenment, to the brother that I loved and cherished so much. He ain't heavy - he's quite magnificent - in fact, he's my BROTHER.

Instead of a tragic departing, his loss marks a time of great inspiration and realisation of life for so many.

Jim’s departure from the world of sense and condition, a brilliant soul, borne of the universe's most wondrous elements, snatched from the crude earth and propelled like starlight into the sky and to a place where the attainment of his spirit cannot be seen... a place where the angelic vibration of his being cannot be felt.

He has gone where none of us can relate to.

More than my blood brother, Jim was my greatest and most loyal friend. So giant in his capacity to shelter the storms brewing inside me. So etheral in his touch to reach deep into my heart and tell me that he would never let go and that I really did know the answer to my dreams. The partnership set in stone, each other for the other, so unflinching was his love for me - like the crashing of waves onto bold and fearless rock.

Of all the connections possible for me, I could not have been in the company of a better brother of blood, nor have been blessed so unforgettably like I was in the rare and beautfiul light of his presence.

I'd like to remember Jim’s passing to the other realm, the farther shore, as an epiphany of the human spiritual energy. And how he shared his life with me as the most outstanding gift. I am forever proud of my brother, forever walking quietly and in awe amongst the halls of his greatness and passages of his legend.

I love you brother. I always have and always will love you. "Till we meet again", keep flying! Keep dancing on that brink of immortality! And I will see you again, JUST YOU WAIT! ....but not yet....not yet.

Bigger than the Sky!
Katie

SOMEONE VERY STRONG AND WISE ONCE SAID,  
   (JERRY J GARCIA)
"THE RIGHT REASON TO PLAY MUSIC IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT AND THE WRONG REASON

Today I am feeling insecure...still not sure what to do or where to be without you as part of the plan.

I am thinking of the time you yelled at me about the mirror and said "why do you think I put that up? For myself?" and didn't think to say "the only reason I look in it is because I want to look nice for you." At the time though I didn't even think about why you put it up. It makes me wonder about all those things you did that I didn't see or notice and all the things we should've said to make things work out better. Unfortunately, "you can't go back and ya can't stand still..." That's the hardest part Jim...cause I keep looking for you in every moment...expecting to see you somewhere.

I miss you so so so much! One thing I always knew though is that no matter what, I would/will love you forever. I don't want to live without you but I want you to be happy, more...and I think you are.

So I hope you know I love you and that nothing in this life will ever be as great as it was experiencing it with you. You just made things so much greater than they were. Just having you with me on this journey made so much greater than it could ever be and I thank you for being apart of my journey.

I hope I didn't disappoint you so much that you don't come to visit me from where you are. Thanks for the dreams as it fills my heart to see you again.

I miss you so much and I think in the end, regardless of all the heartaches and miscommunications that we have endured, in the end all that's left is the love.

It truly does become a part of you, a part of the soul as you are a part of me, always, eternally.

I love you so much Jim...

Faithfully,
Deena Robyn 


"The will of God will never take you where 
the Grace of God will not protect you"



    
JIM,
 A image in a cloud rolls by, the sky opens up and somewhere in my mind is a vision of you.  For you my brother will remain forever young, forever in my memories, forever in my heart. 
There are so many questions running through my mind, like a freight train at a speed to fast to comprehend.  There are only a few answers I can come up with. I know that life is so very fragile, and  from every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.
 It is the little things that I remember in the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. That help to push away the pain. 
I miss you, and I love you,
BIGGER THAN THE SKY!

                                FOREVER,
                             Your Big Sister,
                                Katie 









Jim,
You are a guest in my thoughts.
Once a day and sometimes more,
You knock upon my daydream door,
And I say warmly,"Come right on in!
I'm glad you're here with me again!"
Then we sit down and have a chat,
Recalling this,discussing that,
Until some task that I must do
Forces me away from you---
Reluctantly I say good-bye,
Smiling with a little sigh,
For though my daydreams bring you near
I wish that you were really here---
but what reality can not change
my dreams and wishes can arrange---
And through my wishing you are brought
To me each day--a guest in thought.

 May God Bless Your Heart,
Dad








A Prayer from ME to all of YOU

May today there be peace within. 
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. 
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. 
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you....
 May you be content knowing you are a child of God... 
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. 
It is there for each and every one of us.
 
Luv,
Jimmy G





Shed no tears but tears of joy
For the brightest of spirit wings have unfolded
In the light of a new and eternal beginning.

They have not ceased with the earthly house of clay
But have transcended all things below
And have all earthly love with them still.

Their journey here below now finished
They begin their mission among the Celestials
With clear insight and loving purpose.

They see below, all those who remain
And offer up the purest prayer to the Light of All Lights
On our behalf.

And they wait in the span of the twinkling of mortal eyes
With open arms and the words, "Well Done"
For the homecoming of loved ones here below.

This life, so brief, so full of cares and weighted sorrow
Will one day pale in the light of that great and eternal day
When love is once again made whole and complete and united
Among the joyful shouts of "Welcome Home!"

Most people never have the opportunity to see "ANGELS", or simply do NOT look well enough to see them walking amongst US. This, however does not mean they do not EXIST...
Me, I'm one of the lucky few, not only have I seen an Angel, I call him my "BROTHER"...





When you long for blessings that you may not name, and when you grieve knowing not the cause, then indeed you are growing with all things that grow, and rising toward your greater self.
Kahlil Gibran






If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, 
I could walk forever in my garden.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them,
but then an entire life to forget them.



What we do for ourselves dies with us.
What we do for others,
makes us IMMORTAL.




ROCK ON !








Jim's Idea of Christmas

There is a Christmas Tree, 
that to this day still stands in my father's home. 
It had been decorated by Jim, with homemade decorations
 that were made long ago by his mother. 
After Jim's last Christmas here on this earth, he said to my father... "Dad, why cant we just leave the tree up all year long?" 
When my father questioned, Why? Jim would want to do this..
 he replied 
"To remind people that you should be kind to everyone everyday, 
not just on Christmas" 
So in Palm Beach Gardens, FL 
there is a Christmas tree that stands 365 days of the year.
WE as a family have often talked about it being time to take it down. Yet, we as a family still realize the need for a reminder, 
to be kind to our fellow man, 
ALWAYS

MERRY CHRISTMAS-- JIMMY G--WE LOVE YOU!
