I can not explain the sorrow I feel for you. I did not know that Jim was gone. My prayer go out to you and may you have peace. Jim was a good friend and great mentor. He was someone who really saw the potential in people and had a trust in someone who would do great thing. I want to say that Jim was one of the best people I have ever had the opportunity to work with and consider him one of my best cohorts in this business and as a true friend. I am so sorry I did not know that of his passing.
Nuala, although we only met once I am thankful that Jim gave me the opportunity to excell in my profession and am so thankful for the gifts tha he bestowed on me. May god bless you.
