I'm so sad that my older brother, my dear and precious friend has past. There is a hole in my heart that can never be filled as it has gone to eternal life with my bro. I miss you so much, Jimmy. I know you have your arms around my son, Joey, but why does it have to hurt so much. I Love you,
Your Loving Sister,

Hi Kris, I am so sorry you lost your husband after being married for so many years. I hope you had a wonderful marriage and that you have many memories to carry you through the next phase of your life without him. I will pray for your healing.

Dear Kris, Carrie, Matt & Nick and the entire Yakich Family:
Our heavy heart goes out to all of you. Jim was an outstanding person, the best Dad ever! and he will be deeply missed. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The fondest memory that I hold dear is when growing up in our old neighborhood in Bay View, Kris and Jim were like the only parents I knew that weren't divorced. Carrie would invite me over for dinner in their big house and everyone would sit down as a family, eat and talk to one another. The family bond they all shared was so incredible, and 39 years of marriage is something you don't hear of anymore. The fond memories of Jim will always be with me.
With all of our love,
Jen, Thor & Faith-Rae Hansen
