We are thinking of you Carol at this sorrowful time. Jim was such a sweet man and we enjoyed watching him pedal his 3 wheeler in Lakebridge. He certainly will be missed.

We were lucky to meet Jim and Carol a few years ago. Since then, we have become really close friends. We always remember Jim as an optimistic, positive and very kind person who never gave up to his phisical disoder, made people laugh by funny web sites stories, as he was truly cheerful and jolly man himself. It is a heavy loss for our family. We hope, that Jim will find peace and God's blessings in the Heaven. He will be alive in our hearts because we loved him. We wish Carol to be strong enough to get through the tragedy. You both were really indivisible loving and exemplary pair, and the only thing which can console your sorrow is that your beloved Jim is in a better world now.
