Dear Mary, Jim and Pat:
I am shocked and saddened and cannot begin to know the grief you must feel. Jimmy was a great guy-when Patrick, Billy and I would play together as kids, we thought like we were on top of the world when Jimmy would let us play touch football with him and his friends.
Jimmy was always kind to me and was one of the most nicest guys in the world to all of us when we were little.
He is with God now. The promise that we will all be together forever is awesome comfort to rely on when these tragedies happen. Stay close to each other and let God carry your family through this.

I haven’t known Jim very long, but have found him to be such a wonderful person and feel blessed to have met him in his final days. It is quite clear that his parents did a fine job in raising such an awesome guy. My sincere and deepest sympathies to his entire family and his many friends, especially Paul and Harry. May Jim rest in peace with the Lord.
