Not sure what to say?

Dear Jim (Dad),
It's been a year already but I still think of funny things to tell you - turn to call you and realize that I can't. Now Riley is with you too. I'll miss that little powerhouse ~ I'm sure you're glad to see him...he missed you terribly too. Your monument at Mt. Calvary is truly magical - A huge Celtic Cross in beautiful rock that is a marble in green. And the view overlooking the city - it's a glorious site Jimmy - I miss you - love - your son Ricky

Riley Cassily, Jim's and my 11 year old Cairn Terrier, also passed away to join his beloved Master and best friend, Jim. Riley had a large 2lb. splenic tumor removed from his little 23 lb. body. Anyone who visited Jim & I in the last 10 years knows Riley. He was a strong, funny, brave, valiant friend. Just like his Jim. Think of them together in Heaven, as they always were here.

Love to them both, Always
Katie Cassily

In honor of my Lil Baby Brother, Jimmy...
It is lonesome without you to talk with and I sure miss your Emails.
Thank you for being my ears when we were young and I was not hearing too well, thank you for being my companion as we were growing up in Detroit and at our cottage at Woodland Lake, in Brighton, Michigan, when we were some of the best fishermen around and you learned to water ski barefooted with Mom hauling you around for hours in a borrowed boat. So grateful for the...

May you all be comforted and wrapped in the love of Jim's memory and live your lives with the vigor of Jim's spirit. God's bleesings be with you!

My dearest Jim, Thank you for your love and the years of fun, inspiration, laughter, tears, music and a true heart-home with you wherever we were in this world. Loving you and sharing life with you was a wonderful gift, and caring for you was truly an honor. I know we'll share an even fuller love when I see you next. So, for now, Slan Abhaile, "Safe Home" to my husband and soul mate.

Jim,
We hope your face is one of the first we see when we too, cross over. You have been more than a friend...you have shown us love, compassion, and true genius. We love you and will miss your hugs, laughter,and giving spirit. May your angel guide you home. Until we meet again...God speed old friend.

Dear K.C. and family: I was so saddened to hear of your dad's death. It is never a good time to lose a parent, but one so young is surely harder to bear. Please know, K.C. that we here at Cranbrook are thinking about you and send our deepest sympathy. Warmly, Sharon Peacock
