Aunt Sue and Uncle Jim were always there for the celebrations in my life" I feel when I talk about Aunt Sue I have to include uncle Jim, because they were a package deal. I know Uncle Jim is so happy to have the love of his life with him once more and although hard to leave everyone she is happy now also with the love of her life. When I close my eyes I can see them, uncle Jim at Heavens gates and them running into each other and he carry's her over the threshold, that gives me happiness and peace. To my family especially Barb and Jim their children, I'm so sorry for your losses. Love and peace be with you always.
