My deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one. Marianne you sang at both my parents' funerals (1996 & 1998)and at my granddaughter's wedding (2008. I met your husband at the last two events. He was helping you set up at the organ at Holy Rosary Church. I found him to be a soft spoken, gentleman whose love for you was so evident. I know you and his entire family will miss him terribly, but my faith tells me he will live in your hears forever. May he rest in the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father.

My grandpa was there for me when I didn't have anyone else to turn to. He was my knight in shining armor and I always believed that he would live forever. I now know that I was 100% right because he will live forever in the wonderful memories that we all share and all the great contributions that he gave to this world. Our lives are going to worse off without an angel like grandpa here with us.

Grief can be so hard, but special memories help us cope. Remembering everyone who Jim touched their lives in a positive way and praying for all as they cope with the loss. He touched a lot of lives in a positive way.

Beautiful photo gallery, loved seeing Jimmy with my dad and mother. We will miss you so much. Your are loved even though we didn't see each other very much. I remember at Medina State Park when we all went swimming and y'all talked my dad into jumping off the cliff. I remember you saying "Hey Uncle Henry how do you like your eggs" Those were some great memories. I Love You Jimmy.

He was a miracle for our family and my Mom.He made the difference in Neal and Lisa's life by providing Love, stability, advice and understanding. He always found the positive in every situation and never without a smile. He worked hard everyday and could fix anything.
