Woody & June,
Pat and I were truly saddened to hear of the loss of your son Jim. I believe I met him at a football game some years ago. I know what a close family you were and just wanted to let you know we are thinking about you at this time of sorrow. Be strengthened by your memories of better times. You and your family are in our thoughts.

June and Sherwood,
Our sincerest sympathy and love are sent to you and all of the family. I will always have fond memories of Jimmy, he was a kind soul with a great personality--he could always make me laugh! Nothing can lessen your grief, but I hope it is a comfort for you to know that Jim was loved by everyone who had the good fortune to know him.

Our hearts & prayers go out to you Sherwood & June. Parents should not have to bury any of their children. But that decision is made by someone Higher than us. May God comfort and bless you.
My fondest memories of Jim were when I went to see his football games in his Sr. year of High School.

My heart goes out to Jim's family and friends. I haven't seen Jim since high school graduation, but I'll never forget how nice he was to me even though I wasn't "popular". He was very genuine and had a kind heart. I am sad to hear of his passing, but good memories will last forever.
