Not sure what to say?

To all of his family , my deepest sympathy. I know this is a painful loss. I have never known a person so well loved by all. His qualities were many and made people become better people. I hope seeing some of these qualities in each other brings us peace. PaPop, “ shine on you crazy diamond, have a cigar and wish you were here. “ will never be heard by me without you being felt deep in my heart. I hear you gruffly chastising me. I like it a lot.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Jim will always be fondly remembered.

My heart goes out to you at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss.

May the God of all comfort be with the family in your time of sorrow. Our Heavenly Father assures us that He will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more. I offer my sincere condolences to you all.

Prayers and love to your whole family Patty.

Your family is in my prayers. Mary Moseley

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.
