James Mellon

With sharp mental accuity, I recall the sarcastic banter, the pranks, the side-splitting laughter, and those everyday, mundane moments that turn into "quality time," without us even realizing. You (and Brian and Nick) made the otherwise unfavorable into veritable sitcom, with all of the camaraderie of a college fraternity. You're deeply missed, and as a friend, can never be replaced. Rest-in-Eternal-Peace. Shannon

Dear Jim, "Yo, bud," you'd say. Then, I'd response with a fickle, mood-appropriate response, because I'm triflin'. We miss you, bud, every day in every way. There is no closure for premature loss. (I finally finished my Master's in English Literature & Letters. Thank you for liking me for the nerd I am.) Shannon

Dear Betsy and Jim,
We are so deeply sorry for you and your family in the death of your beloved son, Jimmy. There are no words that can adequately express the level of grief and sadness that you are feeling. Unfortunately Harry and I have a profound understanding of your pain and I pray that the days ahead will eventually bring you peace and acceptance. Find strength in your beautiful memories of Jimmy. Some days will be harder than other days. Always embrace the help and...

So truly sorry for the loss of Jimmy. He was always kind, sweet and so respectful. Glad I got to talk to him, not to long ago. RIP
You will always be loved!
Aunt Tina and Uncle Mike xoxo
