My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your son & brother, Jimmy. I have not looked at the Foster's newspaper (via e-mail) in at least two years, whatever made me look at it today? God at work, wouldn't you say!
I remember all of you as being very close, loving & kind and always thought to myself how blessed you are! I know that your family & friends will be by your side to comfort & help you through this very difficult time.

Dear Aunt Susie, Martha, Andrew and families; No words can reduce the loss and pain you are feeling at the unexpected loss of Jimmers in your life. But know that he is with God in a better place and with those that he loved who went before him...I am truly sorry that you have to experience the loss of Jimmers too soon. Though we do not always keep in touch with family we love, we love you no less. All my memories of you and your family are happy - from our times together up north at Senator Lake; at mom and dad's on Nicolet Ave. in Green Bay; at your home in Schaumberg, IL when Pete and I took the Greyhound Bus to come for a visit...and all the times since. I recall fondly our visit, Sue, last year when you and my Mom stayed with us at our new home in Georgia on your way to Florida. We love you and pray for you each and every day. May God Bless you with His Great Love and comfort you during this time and always...your niece and cousin, Jeanne (Engels) Owart; husband - Michael Owart, and daughters Emily and Rachel

Hi Aunt Sue, Martha & Ryan, Andrew & Jackie, I honestly do not know what to say.........what can someone really say about this unexplainable tragedy? My heart hurts so much for all of you, I can't possibly even "imagine" how you all must feel. I am remembering the photo I have of Jim holding Jimmers standing up in his hand as a baby...how long ago that was..still it must seem like "yesterday" to you. It is so difficult to understand the trials we are given in this life to struggle through the best we can. There is a saying though that I hang on to...."If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it" May He bring you through it with comfort and peace and the joy in your cherished memories. I wish so much that a wish could take your unimaginable "hurt" away. I love you all and you are remembered in my prayers every day. Terri (Engels)Calmes

Sue,
There are so many things that we are going to miss about Jim. His cooking that special something for the race every weekend, snowmobiling, camp in Upton, ME, going on vacations with us, and just spending quality time with him. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten. We will cherish the memories and the times we got to spend with him. Jim, you will be in our hearts forever.
Love and miss,
Nancy, Paul, & Jared

Aunt Sue, Martha and Andy and families: I am deeply sorry for your loss. I remember so well (and fondly) basement time at Grandma's with the "war" action figures on the braided rug, the tree swings and how well Jim enjoyed the fishing on that very long pier! I know Grandma deeply appreciated Jim's extensive help during Grandpa's illness and passing. I'm so sorry he left us much too soon.

Dear Sue and Martha and Andy,
I was so sad to hear about Jim. I remember him as just the cutest baby, a sweet kid and then a very nice man. He was so kind and patient with my mother. I remember how she looked forward to him visiting and cooking dinner for her. He was a good a caring grandson.
I can't tell you how sorry I am for you and your families. You have had more than your share of sadness. My prayers are with you.

To Jims family,
I was Jims supervisor at WalMart. He was a great guy. He was always there to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. He helped me with my secret squirrel tasks. I looked forward everyday to working with him. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.-this is how I feel about Jim his friendship will always remain with me. May you find comfort from our Lord during this time. May he wrap him arms around each of you as I am sure he will of Jim as well. God Bless,
Bob & Ruthie Marchand
