Dear Sandy and family,
I are so sorry to hear of the loss of Jim. I just heard this morning. You are in my prayers. Jim was my Godfather. When I think of him I remember Christmas as a child. He always sent me some jewelry item. It always made me feel special that he remembered me.
May the consolation of the Holy Spirit be upon you and your family.

I was so sorry to hear the news. I pray that our Lord be near , with His arms around you, carrying you through this time, and the times to come. I don't have many memories, because I was so much younger, but I do remember you guys coming out to the farm, and enjoying those times. Ma is not too keen on travel anymore, and Dad (Clarence) is 84 and still on the farm, finding things to do, like cut hay, etc. Our thoughts are with you, and I wish we could be there.

You are a man of courage and strenght, you fought hard and although we can't grow old together I will always cherish the times that we did have. You will be in my heart forever. Thanks for being my hero.

I love you:)

Hi, this is Sandra (Baginski) Nissen.
Jim, you were the best cousin in the world, and I miss you already. However, you're in a good place. You died on my Mother, Aunt Marie's, birthday, August 16th. Now that date is even more special to me. (P.S. I went to DePaul because of you and Rog).
