Mary and family,
I am numb at the thought of Jim's death. I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in helping you through your grief. Jim certainly left a lasting legacy - not only with his beautiful family - but with everyone he ever worked with.
Working with Jim back in the mid-eighties was a wonderful experience for me. He taught me the value of hard work, organization, and compassion. He was truly a mentor for me. Over all these years, I always tried to keep in touch.
Mary, your relationship with Jim is one that I try to emulate...love that's so strong and lasting is so rare. I'm sorry you have to go through this pain! God bless you and your family. HE does have a plan, I'm convinced; HE took Jim to do other things and gave your your grandbaby to carry on.
Many condolences,
Love, Kathy

I am sorry for your loss and Randall is such a good friend that I am sure his brother had the same good traits.

To all the Kopenys,
I didn't know James that well, but from all that I heard from Jason, he was a good man, and I know that you all will miss him deeply. I am very sorry for your loss and wish you find comfort in knowing that he loved you all and that he really isn't gone as long as you keep him in your hearts.
