Not sure what to say?

5 years and it seems as if it was yesterday. You will be eternally missed. Things have certainly changed and will never be the same with you not being in our lives. Love you brother... Linda Yohn

Well JP... here it is four years later and we still love and miss you (even more) as when you were taken from us. There isn´t a day that goes by that you´re not in our conversations. You were and will always be such a special part of our lives. Give your buddy, Ron, a hug from me. I´m sure you are loving your talks and fellowship. I love you both very much and you two will ALWAYS be missed. Your sister, Linda

Dad, You were the one I would call when I had questions, so many questions about life and God. You called me snuggles or little girl and always made me feel loved. My dearest memories was Sunday morning when everyone would be getting ready for church and you had Christian music on the stereo. I love when you got excited and started waving your fist while singing in church. I loved the way you called mom Caroline when she was misbehaving (lol). I don´t think any of us ever thought you would...

It has been a few weeks now since you went with the Lord and I am still trying to reason or accept the fact that I will never hear your voice again. I struggle with the regret of not making the most of the time I could have had with you while you were here. I call you Dad because to me you and Mom are my other parents. You both lived and love me and I feel it was meant to be that way. So I can’t help but to call you Dad. It doesn’t feel right to not call you that.
I would do anything...

Jimmy, you were a king among men. Kind, gentle, humble, you were loved by all who met you. I knew you all your life and marveled at your gentleness. You could listen patiently and always had a wise and godly answer. You were funny and witty. You were my perfect little brother. I miss you immensely ❤

Words cannot describe what a wonderful man you truly were. Life lessons you shared were abundant, honest and always from the heart. Your joy, light hearted nature and your loving, caring spirit were felt by all who knew you. When I was a young child you taught me all kinds of things, like how over rated a nearby restroom was when a perfectly good tree is even closer; or how to find and chop firewood when we would go on family camping trips; you even gave me a snare drum in an effort to...

In loving memory of a wonderful uncle. We will love you and miss you always uncle Jim. All our memories will always be held close to my heart. See you again some day! XOXO DEEDEE

My sweet second family, I'm so sorry for all you're going through. I love you all and I know Jim is just waiting to hug you again one day. I'm praying for you.
