I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in His arms. I have you in my heart. I miss you Daddy. Love Kimberly

To Jim's Family,

It was my privilege and honor to have known Jim. I liked him the very first time I talked with him. His kindness was evident from hearing how he took a patient to this doctor's appointment or to that place to pay a bill. But when he spoke of his family, his eyes lit up! He loved each and every one of you and was not shy to brag about his family. My heart goes out to each one of you and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Tina
