"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal". From a headstone in Ireland.  The Imes/Conley/ Rott/Graham families  unite with friends to stand  as one as we morn the untimely passing of Jonathan Imes.   Jonathan was  born to Allen Imes and JoAnn Conley Imes on  February 24, 1977 and parted this earth on July 25, 2009 of a sudden heart attack. Services will be held at the Church of Christ 1111 SW. 89th St. OKC at 2:00 PM Thursday July  30, 2009. He leaves his devoted parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws, friends and  beloved  wife, Nicci Rott Imes. Jonathan held a passion for his Celtic heritage and was an accomplished drummer.

"Parting Glass"

Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm I've ever done,
alas it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit
to mem'ry now I can't recall;
So fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be to you all.

 

CHORUS
[So] fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call 
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away.
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it fell unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be to you all.
