Dearest Patti and Jillian,

Although, I was not with you day in body I was in spirit and I know Jim was too. I know Jim and Bobbie are sitting on their mountain together laughing and planning their houses. Between their drinking they have started digging the tunnel that will connect their new homes. This should keep them both busy, and should things get a little slow Bobbie can always teach Fleagle the Beagle and new trick while Jim and Nana sit near by and watch, until Fritz and Polly stops by to play.
I hope you know how much Phil and I both loved you all. We will miss him until we all meet again. We hope the great pain, sorrow, and lost you are feeling now will past in time. May the knowledge we will we always be there for you both help easy the big hole in your heart. We will always remember the house parties, the pizza and beer, and those flying candy canes!!!
May God watch over you both along with all the Angels. Miracles do happen and Jim was one, there is a new Angel in Heaven his halo might be a little off but that will not matter much. Keep Believing!!!
All our love and prays,
Sandra and Phil

I write this with great sadness because I lost not only my brother in law but one of my best friends. When you lose someone so close the memories rush through your mind but I have to say that everyone brought a smile to my face. Our family journeys in Florida that were always an adventure. The nights with Bob Massey when we all aquired a new language. The rides with Susan when we became the Wallenweiners. The backyard parties, hollywood beach and our quest to return where we belong, home. Like the song says, its never too late. Your memories will be with us forever because every time that we see your daughter Jillian, we will see you. You blessed us with a gift that can never be replaced. Happy Riding!!!
