Dearest Karen, Lee and Phil,
I feel blessed to have met Jim and knew instantly that he was a unique "supernova" that happened to be subbing in our classroom at the ECLC. I will forever be in gratitude for Jim's brief appearance in my life and the genuine goodness, he possessed that expanded my heart. I hope you can call upon the strength of his love and courage in days to come. With deep love and sympathy, Donna Phofolos and family.

Karen, Marion and the entire Bristol and Atherton Families,
We are so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I don't recall ever meeting Jim, but I know what a wonderful young man we was. We followed his struggles from a distance and prayed for him often. Go forward with the knowledge that his spirit lives on in the hearts of all of you who loved him.
