Dear Mrs. Dages,
I wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. The deep, loving bonds of your family have been evident to me since I first met Moira in college.

Mrs. Dages, we are so sorry for your loss. My parents taught me the value of family, and I have met few families who similarly value such relationships. However, I have always been amazed at the closeness of your family, the respect your children have had for you and Jim, and the love they show for one another. It is clear that you two provided them with this gift and I know they are passing this on to their own children. This is not a small thing in this materialistic, self-focused world....

Dear Dages Family, I would like to thank you all for sharing your dad with me. From the first day I met him standing in the lobby of Southgate dorm 30.5 years ago in Durham North Carolina, I realized how blessed I was/am that our paths crossed. He and mom Dages created an atmosphere where all are included and love flows freely - all the way to Texas! Your legacy lives on in so many. God has blessed me by knowing him and being part of your family. Please accept my condolences and my...

I think back fondly on all the days back at 80th st. and 80th pl. and with Mr. Dages. Those days in Dawes Park were the best. Growing up in Little Flower Parish across the alley from the Dages always brings back fond memories. We were insepararable with Kevin, Kathy, Timmy Emmet and Maura. I miss it.

To dear Judy and kids/ grand kids- So sorry to hear of Jim's death. We remember him fondly as such a sweet and fun guy. You made a wonderful couple and such a great family. Thanks to Terry, and now Mike we get some news of the "cousins". Moving far away has it' drawbacks- losing touch the worst. Prayers for all of you. Love, Peg & George
