James Hayward Arnal Tribute

We'll often think back to the days of old,
to our Proud Soldier we use to behold;
We'll remember his humble and selfless ways,
putting others first after long hard days;
We'll remember his 'fearlessness' he often masked,
when speaking of his responsibilities and tasks;
We'll cherish his sweet mischievious smile,
which he often used with his natural guile;
We'll remember his strong determination and pride,
of serving his nation and all else he tried;
We all have our own memories of James,
riding bikes, exploring and playing games;
We'll cherish the laughter, the joys and the tears,
keeping his spirit alive throughout the years;
Until we meet again in that better place,
we will wait, impatiently, to behold your face;
We'll often look back and wish we could behold,
Our Proud Soldier, James, we'll remember of old.

Love you James, and we miss you terribly,
Love always,
Grandma & Grandpa,
Auntie Janet, Ian, Giuseppe, Adam, Jenn, Deidre & Giovanni
