In Memory Of Jordon Thomas Klym Feb. 1/1984 - May 5/2003

Remembered by his family

Sue, Gene, Jesse, Brynn, Travis, Dellaney I AM THERE When the clouds scuttle across the sky, Think of me for I am there.

When the wind whispers secret messages, Think of me for I am there.

When raindrops rest gently on your cheek, Think of me for I am there.

When the sun kisses your face with warmth, Think of me for I am there.

I am a part of you and you of me, Death only masks our earthly forms.

No longer earthbound and weary of limb, My spirit soars and i am free!

It only seems that I am far away, But I am with you each and every day!

Some day you and I will reunite, With rain and wind, with sky and light!

(This is dedicated to Jordon who is missed very much by his family and relatives.)

I am a friendly but shy girl. I am slowly warming up to everyone here at the shelter and learning that not all humans want to hurt me! I like pets and I enjoy chin scratches but when you go too fast I will move away! I would do well in a nice quieter home who can help me come out of my shell more! I would do well in a home with other cats and calmer kids who can respect my boundaries. I love dogs and require a home with other cats.

If you would like to meet me then be sure to call the shelter and make an appointment to come in!

LIBRA

You will be emotional about family matters.

Do not lend money or belongings to friends.

You could lose money or precious belongings if you aren't careful.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Organizations may cost you more than you can afford. Double check your work and be sure that your boss is in a good mood before you do your presentation.

Better still, take your mate and let them foot the bill. You can make money if you pursue your own business. You may be able to get some good advice about your personal problems.

LEO

SAGITTARIUS

The existing problems must be dealt with one way or another. Your lover will be annoyed with your participation. Your attitudes at work will open new avenues for you.

1 2

Any capricious behavior will confuse loved ones and your mood swings will result in loneliness. Your charisma will no doubt attract a lot of attention.

CAPRICORN

You must take care of health problems that have been lingering. Make amends if you can. People you live with will not be terribly happy with you regardless of what you do today.

AQUARIUS

You should sign up for creative courses.

Concentrate on your work. Use your charm, but don't be phony. If you take on too much of a financial burden you may make yourself ill.

Try not to get backed into corners. Get involved in jobs that require creative input.

You can win points with both peers and superiors. Your energy will be high.

VIRGO

PISCES

You are best to stick to basics. Work on getting ahead by picking up added skills.

You need to sit back and enjoy. You will feel so much better about yourself if you can control your addictions.

It's hard to stay mad if the object of the anger refuses to react. Use your intellectual approach to get the best results. Do not blow situations out of proportion.
