Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to hear about the loss of Jim. Jim sold our first house in 2000 and has kept in touch with us since. He was always so friendly and willing to help. I just saw him in Shaw's a month ago. I will miss bumping into him and talking with him. He was a great guy. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was both stunned and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. My condolences to his surviving family.

We worked side by side, we cleaned the floors on Sundays, Jim taught me to fish, hunt, and appreciate the woods.
