Uncle Jim will live on in each of us. He has and always be in my heart. I have so many memories - before he was married, during his marriage -having a step-daughter and the birth of his children .How proud he was of each of you.

The love of his grand-children.

He had so many gifts that God had blessed him with and I can see that he has passed them onto his children and grand-children. Use them wisely - continue his love for God, life, family, friends and his community growing within each of you.

I was fortunate to be able to be there for his memorial with my mom (Ruth) - Uncle Jim's sister, my sister's and my youngest son Chris. Spending time with my cousin's while there was an honor and I will cherish forever.

Hoping that we can continue staying in touch - I know sometimes our personal life's seem to rule over the time we get to spend with one another.

My prayers, thoughts and love to each of you!

Uncle Jim - I love you!!!

God Bless

Love & hugs,
Margaret
