Dear Honey, Storme, Kellee, Kim & other family of Jim's,
Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Take some comfort in knowing that your friends and co-workers care and share in your bereavement. My connection with you ladies and Jim began as working relationships in GE and the GEAA. He was very smart computer guru in his time and many looked up to him. I knew things were not easy for him lately. Enjoy the good memories you have of times you've spent with him. I know there will be special moments that occur that will remind you of Jim and cause you to smile. I wish you strength in this difficult time.
I winter in Fort Myers now and regret not being there to personally comfort you.
