In Memory of My Friend



Dedicated to Jim G. Hudson, who passed away
Jan. 28, 2005.

IN MEMORY...

Today I planted a tree in honor and in memory of Jim Hudson, my friend, high school classmate, and neighbor. Jim, age 44, was a loving and dedicated father and husband. He loved playing his guitar, spending time with his sons, and serving as a Scoutmaster.

The tree is a Pin Oak, which turns a beautiful red color in the fall. One thing unique about the Oak is that its upper branches reach up, it's mid branches are horizontal, and the lower ones arc down.

Last night his wife Del dedicated a star in his honor as well. She chose the star that flashed the brightest, and as we looked up into the winter night sky we could see Jim up there, looking down on us and smiling.
