Dear Brenda:

I am truly sorry to hear about Jim. I can only imagine what you are going through.
I still remember when I had my old Datsun, Jim would ask me: if I “put the club on?” Makes me smile just thinking about it!

Take care. I think about you and the great times we had at work many years ago.

Dear Brenda, We are so sorry and will truly miss Jimmy dearly. Bobbe has known Jimmy since they were 11 years old and has always thought of him as a very good friend. It was so nice to see and talk with you and Jim last month. We will always treasure that visit and the "whim" that made us decide we had to stop by. We will hear his laugh in our memories forever.
Be strong, but remember we're here if you need anything, whether you want to laugh over a good memory or someone to cry with. Our love and prayers are with you. Wendy and Bobbe G.

Jim was a great uncle and had the best sense of humor. I will always remember our family trip to Hawaii. I never laughed so much in my life! This last Christmas was very special to me even more so now that I have a wonderful memory of Jim and everyone who was there.

Brenda, I'm sure you know that I am always here for you whenever you need me. I have to say that you have a great sense of humor too...you married Jim. My love to you.
