Jim,
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. Whenever we see each other it is a joy to hear you speak of your dad and his love for your mom and the water. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

James Allen was an important part of the Coles Point community for many years. All who had the privilege of knowing him will be saddened by his loss: he had a kind word and a smile for all he met. To Helen, his soul-mate for 67 years, to Betty Lee and Jimmie and their spouses, to Jacque and Eddie and their spouses and children, I extend heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time. There are many Coles Pointers in heaven rejoicing at seeing an old friend come home, but many here grieving at his walking just beyond the horizon.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. Take comfort in the words of Isaiah 25:8, 9
