Not sure what to say?

I miss you so much. How have I made it through this year without you. You would be so proud of Tim, Sean & Katelyn - they have taken such good care of me but you know that. We feel you with us everyday, watching over us and protecting us. We will love you forever. I am so grateful to our families and friends for taking such good care of us. We are blessed to have them in our lives.
I will love you forever. You are my everlasting love and I am so lucky to have been the one you chose...

This week my son, Jonathan, and I were speaking of Jim- of how much we loved him and of how much we miss him. Jonathan, who now runs our family business located in Watertown, said, "I learned so much from Jim; I miss him." Jim did all the electrical work for our company for many, many years. As small business owners, we spoke the same language. Jim made us laugh, taught us all about life and business and showed us how to be tough. We think of him often and we miss him.

I am so shocked and saddened by Jim's death. I first met Jim when I was 5 when he was working at my parents' house in 1985. He was so sweet and playful with me and let me "assist" him whenever I was around. I always looked forward to seeing him. I didn't find out about his passing until last week when I returned from a trip and I'm devastated. Please allow all of these wonderful memories of Jim to keep you strong.

Dear Peggy,
I just learned from my brother John
of your loss. My deepest sympathies
to you and your family.I never met
Jimmy but he must have been a
wonderful husband.

Peggy and family,
Having watched you grow up since you were 6, watching your love for Jimmy grow over the years and watching the pride you both had in your wonderful children we hold you close at this sad time.Jimmy was a wonderful husband, father and provider as well as a charmer.Although it wasn't often,we always enjoyed seeing him over the years. May your memories sustain you and know that he is always close. His spirit lives on within you and the kids.
Love,

Dear Peggy,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Jim was a friend to all. I especially enjoyed playing hockey with him in Natick many years ago. I did also enjoy seeing him at the "Men of 50" event on the Lake last September. I am enclosing a picture I took of Jim, Chandler and Rob sharing a laugh.

All the best,

Bill Skerry

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Jim worked with my mother and I on many projects over the years and in my mother's words was always "our favorite electrician". He was a pleasure to work with and always brought a warmth and spirit to the job and a smile to my face. He will be remembered very fondly by us.
