HAPPY HALLOWEEN JIM. Well its another first time without you thing again,and it stinks.We really miss you alot and I'm having a real hard time coping with this. I think every-one thinks I should be fine but 25 years is alot of memories good and bad and the bad are almost all gone and all thats left are the good which makes this so much harder. The kids really are trying hard to be strong for me but I know they miss you so much because know matter what you always loved them and provided them with what they needed.Please send me a sign that everything will be okay because I cannot see past my anguish and sorrow for I am truly LOST. Your in our thoughts and prayers always.
