Dear Cousins,

Uncle Jim was such a wonderful, special man and he will be greatly missed. His quiet, friendly demeanor, his warm smile and his deep knowledge and curiosity about the natural world around him were always things that endeared him to me and that I will always hold on to. All of you have been and will remain in my prayers and I want you to know that I share in your grief.

With love, your cousin,

Mark

Jim always encouraged my fascination with medicinal herbs. I looked up to him for that. He really seemed to enjoy his work and people.

Mr. Schoen was so special and I will never forget him. Though he had a quiet demeanor, his caring and support of me and Barb were undeniable.

This is a very difficult time, I know. But I hope you will take comfort in the memories you shared with him, and the wonderful man he was to all who knew him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love, Alicia
