Kathy, I'm so sorry about your loss of Jim.

Jim was my 3rd cousin. I've never met him, but I'm working on the family history book. Would you be willing to contact me regarding adding the rest of the family to our history book?

I met Jim in 1978. I was moving to Texas from another state. He has been my lawyer and became my friend with his wife, Kathy too. I just saw him a few days before he left to go away for a month with Kathy. Kathy, you are in my prayers. I am glad you had that month of time with Jim. You are special people in my heart. I am sorry I didn't know about the service or I would have been there. Jim you will remain in many people's hearts because of the kindness you showed everyone. Rest in peace Jim.

This old world has lost a fine man. Everyone is born to die but it hurts when someone you know/love passes. But, if one must go,there is a blessing in doing it while doing something you love. God's blessings on your family as I know they are hurting and they are troubled because they had no time to say goodbye, but someday they'll realize that you are watching and aware of their feelings for you. Let not your hearts be troubled for your Lord God watches over you and has you in the palm of his hand. Now we add another Richfield Ram, Class of '65, to our "missing" list. Rest in Peace Jim.
