To my best friend and love of my life, words can't express how I am feeling at the present time. We were supposed to grow old together, buy an RV, live by the water and Edinsburg, where you could hunt without getting up at four in the morning. We were supposed to see our kids graduate from high school, get married and have kids. We were supposed to go to Aruba, where we could lay on the beach with my head on your chest. We were supposed to plan a weekend on the bike to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon and now I'm left with a memory. I miss you so much, my heart is breaking, I love you Jimmy forever and always. I promise to take care of our boys and live as if I were dying....

Our thoughts and prayers to both the Binder and Nelson families. Although we haven't seen Jim in approximately 25 years, we always considered him a gentleman and special friend to our daughter, Michele, during their high school years. He left a lasting impression with us, and I was happy to reunite with Jim via Facebook during these last few years. We were shocked to hear of this sudden passing while in the prime of his life. Again, our deepest sympathy to his family.
