HI Tish and Mary et al
I am sorry I cannot be there with you on Saturday. We will miss him terribly at family gatherings as at Barking Waters in July, and at ACPS functions where he was eager participant in those Awards Ceremonies you pulled off. Much love to all the family. He had a wonderful life.

Dear Pat and Mary -- I was so sorry to hear about Jim. He was such a wonderful man, I know you are glad to have had him for so long. I will be thinking about you in the coming days and hope to see you soon. Donna Duckworth

Dear Pat and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Lightbody's passing. I have fond memories of him always with a smile on his face. I will never forget the times we hauled Casco to horse shows and Mr Lightbody did the trailering. I can still remember him giggling at the horse shows. So sorry for your loss but he leaves a wonderful family behind to carry on his smiles. Caring thoughts sent with love for you and your family Pat, Karen Zimmerman-Davidson

To Pat , Mary and the Lightbody family,

Our years of working together for the ACPS will always be treasured .
Jim was a wealth of knowledge and reasoning which he generously shared at every turn. We all celebrate the life of this wonderful man.
With our love and prayers

Dear Pat, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Lightbody's passing. He was such a sweet, lovely man. I was thinking about him just today as I was mowing my pastures (I remember seeing him on his tractor mowing your pastures several years ago). I learned of his death this evening from a NODA member. To think he was on my mind just a few hours earlier is very interesting. I know you will miss him very much. God bless you and your family with all those wonderful memories. Love, Patti Valencic

Dr. Lightbody and family please accept my condolences. What a wonderful fulfilling life he had.

In my brief experience with James I learned that he was a strong, successful man's, man who loved his family and was loved by them very much. He lived an extraordinary full rich life with many wonderful experiences. He was a man who was blessed and shared his blessings and lived the American dream. He will be missed by many and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to meet him and his family. My deepest condlences.
