Re: "Remembering Tim Jones, family, friends, colleagues and community members gather to honour local hero" Jan. 25.

I was among the thousands who attended the memorial service to pay my respects to an amazing hero. While watching the serviceoutdoors on a big screen TV, a huge eagle soared overhead. It was a poignant moment that captured Tim's spirit. "And he will raise you up on eagle's wings/Bear you on the breath of dawn/Make you shine like the sun/And hold you in the palm of His Hand" (Michael Joncas). Tim held so many in the palm of his hand while saving their lives. For that, we will all be eternally grateful. Please donate to The North Shore Rescue Tim Jones Memorial Fund at northshorerescue.com. And volunteer doing what you love!
