Not sure what to say?

Warren, When I saw you today at St. Charles Church, I could see that as you mentioned Jim's death, it was an emotionally difficult matter for you to discuss. I will remember you, Jim and the family in my prayers as you deal with this loss. May God give you strength during this time of sorrow.

Dear Deb, Warren, Francine, Johnny and James: I remember Jimmy fondly as a man full of that fun Como spirit. Condolences to your family on Jimmy's passing. ... Fran and Bill Neville

Dear Johnny, Warren, Francine, Debbie and James,

I've just heard from my sister Laurie about Jim. My life has been enriched beyond words from our relationship, our love. He was thirty-three when we met, James only a very little boy. There is too much to say and this is an absurd place to say it. So, in brief, allow me this: Jim was one of the kindest, most compassionate men the world can know. -- Jayne Ellen De Sesa

I will always remember Jim, he dated my sister Jayne deSesa, and I felt such warmth from him. He was a sweetheart, and I wanted Jayne to marry him. I particularly loved his son, what a beautiful boy. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I will always remember him, my prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

I was saddened of the news about Jim Como's passing. I met him at the jail in 1980. He was a friend of my sister Paulette Harris. When I began working at the jail, I used to get drafted to work forced overtime a lot. Jim would always offer to get lunch for me. We became such good friends and I used to think he was the "Coolest Dude" ever. So sorry for your loss. But, no that your loved one made a difference.

I am not sure if you are seeing this twice- in that I thought I hit the right buttons?

I have always missed Jim. From 1977 until 97 we were best buddies, on and off the job. Together we developed the agency of Offender Aid and Restoration at the Baltimore City Jail, where Jim helped thousands of inmates not only get out of jail but get their lives together. He was a Social Program Manager.

Jim had a ready laugh and a wonderful sense of humor. He was compassionate, well-read and I enjoyed conversing with him about the merits of single malt Scotch and red wine. My condolences to the family-he is gone way too soon.

Hello I truely understand why you want heartfelt prayers.That is why I love the prayers of King David who poured out his heart to God when he was in distressed.Notice how he prayed to God at Ps 61:1-2 there is says,Hear O God,my cry for help.Do pay attention to my prayers.From the ends of the earth I will cry out to you.When my heart is in despair lead me onto a rock that is higher than I am.May the God of peace be with you all.

To the Como Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your dear one. May the "God of all comfort" be with you and fill your hearts with wonderful memories of James to cherish.
