I believe I have met James & Julie when I attended NABS. Their family picture & reading his obit made it clear in my mind. From all I remember & read online my heart goes out to Brittany & Julie's parents. My son & daughterin-law live at Baltic so hear the news. I didn't hear whether Jim's parents are living or if either had siblings. My husband Ted was a farmer & we are involved as staff in a grief support group in North Central Iowa. In our family we have had several untimely deaths so will keep you in our prayers. Wish I could be at the funeral or better yet visit you after the crowds have left. Remember Jesus knows your sorrow & the beautiful memories you have as well. God Bless Vesta & Ted Berglund Call me if you need to share! 515-885-2303

I did not know him but knew his father and grandparents. Better people did not walk this earth.
