The Death of James Evans On Good Times

Life stopped for a moment when we received that call The Savior came and you left us all Your pain is relieved, so should we rejoice or cry? Unknown how to just say goodbye Trying to be normal as if life’s a blast Masking the hurt with empty laughs Moving on as if nothing has occurred Your husband has died, haven’t you heard!! Your children are hurting and now they’re mad Cause Mom’s acting strange and not even sad? How can this be when we hurt so each night An attack of some sort like a stick of DynoMite! We know she’s suffering getting her strength from above She’s lost the only man that she has ever loved Then it happens and so we know she’s not fine Breaking the dishes remembering all the Good Times. The Death Of James Evans on Good Times, by Celeste Jordan

Congratulations on your win Celeste. That episode was one of the best of the show. I believe the show was cancelled not long after that episode was aired. You have described it well in this entry.
