In loving memory of
James D. Bielak
March 22, 1951 - September 14, 2007
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best. |

Officer Jim Bielak & Family,
God took your Father home, it was His will, but in your hearts you'll love
him still. His memory is as dear today as in the hour he passed away.
You'll often sit and think of him when you are all alone, for your memory
brings a grin. your Dad is sleeping so free from pain, His Sickness has
ended. His troubles are over, Lord has taken him to a field of clover. Our
Prayers are with you, and you family.

I've lost a truly good friend. Fond memories
of Jim will always remain with me. From walking to school together in
first grade to Jim picking me up in his car and riding to high school.
Plus everything in between. Jim had the best personality and positive
attitude. He could always make you laugh and he remembered everything.
I will miss him dearly and his phone calls from "The Road". My thoughts
and prayers go out to Kathy and all of Jim's family. It's a very sad day
today.
