Aloha,



It is with deep sympathy and love that I write to you today upon hearing of Jim's death. I know he is with our Father in Heaven and in no more pain and lacking nothing now. I am remembering a very happy and joyful neighbor who always said hi to us (Lance, Patty and I) when we were playing in the yard, riding our bikes or washing the cars. He is remembered as a faithful husband, wonderful friend and a man with a heart of all hearts. We love you Mary and your children and in our hearts we will always remember you.



A deep love for all of you at this time,



Tammy (Harris) Romaguera

To Mary and Family - We are so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We know also that he is with God and will be in a wonderous place. We have so many memories of Mary and Jim when we lived across the street from them in Corinthian Bay. He was always there to help us if needed and took such good care of our house when we were away. Always with a smile and he and John always exchanging jokes back and forth. May God bless all of you and our love to Mary, Chris and Lee.



With Respect and Love,

Kathy and John Harris
