James Edward Lason

Darling Jim,

Today marks three years since you took your final breath on earth. As I was coming home from Phoenix this evening, I heard Anne Murray's "Can I Have this Dance for the Rest of My Life" . . . I miss you so!

Also today, Dr. Gaul has been gone 18 months - just as long as you had preceded him.

My Aunt Mary, my Uncle Bob, my cousin "Chip" (we named Leslie in honor of him), George Pavey's mom, and your sister Barbara each joined you this year. ...

Jim, my dearest -

Dearest Jim --

Again I write of loss to our earthly family -- Holly, your first-born, was released from her suffering on your 81st birthday. Fathers and daughters have such a special bond! Your connection with each of your children is precious and unique.

I love you and miss you! I'll add pictures of you and Holly (and some of the rest of us) soon.

Joanie

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. I miss you so much! I'm certain you already know that "Wild Bill" has followed your trail heavenward, exactly 18 months behind you.

Love Always, Joanie

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We thought alot of Jim as he was always a straight shooter and one good fellow.We will miss him.

Terry, I saw this notice about your Father this morning and just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Warm regards. Kathy Faller
