Torin

Jacques

Two lovely brothers are no longer with us They are playing their guitars in heaven No longer can they travel and see the world But their memory can live on forever Jactor Project it is totally unique Set up by their parents as a lasting tribute Just place a ‘Warhammer’ figure where no other would seek Anywhere in the world you think the boys may have enjoyed Jacques and Torin loved to play music So a musical location would be great Or the highest place you can think of As Torin enjoyed the heights The idea of Jacctor is to hide these figures Where no one will ever find them Take a photo of the secret location But let Jactor Project know where they are Then they can be placed on a map of the world We can then see Jactor on a world tour The boys are no longer with us But memories of them can live on forever Please visit the Jactor Project Facebook Page Get a figure and take it with you on holiday It need not be an exotic location But with your help Their memory can live on forever Get a figure from Sarah and Ray today Send Jactor on a round the world holiday https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jactor-Project/378173279030533 2nd March 2015

Fine tribute Jan, and what a loss. Two young musicians playing at 'The Great Gig in the Skye' far too early. Love this, hugs, James xx

Sorrow and pain wrap themselves around each word and we are left sad and sympathetic to your plea. I for one will be happy to participate in this memorial to the boys, I hope they like Canada. Emile.

I just tried it Emile and the same thing happened - it seems poetry soup adds on the link to this poem - if you delete that then it will take you to the page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jactor-Project/378173279030533 (make sure you get rid of the bit that gets added that says read more at poetry soup) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan...this Jactor project is a very novel idea. I liked this write and at last got to see the two brothers; may others learn to appreciate life and take care of it. Malta would be a welcome home for a Jactor location. Hugs // paul
