Not sure what to say?

I can´t believe it has been 17 years since my dad passed away. His memory lives on in our hearts. I so appreciate the condolences shared by friends and family. We miss you dearly dad. Now we have lost your brother John too. I can still hear the sound of your voices , telling stories and laughing. Rest in peace dad.

To my beloved husband, your memory shall infinitely be engraved in my heart and in my soul. You will continue on in Heaven but I promise your legacy will remain constant here in this life through me. Thank you for all the years that will have to be enough but never are. Thank you for so many memories that will never be equaled. Thank you for being the only one to truly understand me and for letting me truly understand you. Thank you for sharing your family with me and for helping me raise my...

Jennifer, Jamie, Jimmy and JD,
I'm very sorry to hear of your recent loss. I remember many weekends going with your Dad to swim in the channel 13 pool during his broadcast. I don't think I've ever had so much green hair. I also remember how he taught me how to play baseball in the circle and how he got mad at us for removing all the tar from the cul-de-sac. Those were the days! My family sends best wishes for all of you.

Aunt Ginny, cousin Brent, and all of Jim's family, we are so sorry to hear about Uncle Jim. You are in our prayers and may God provide you strength, embrace you with His love, and give you peace especially during these difficult days. God sent us His Son Jesus so we can all be forgiven that we may have eternal life with our Heavenly Father. What a blessing it is to know where Uncle Jim is at! He was always a pleasure to talk to and I really enjoyed talking to Uncle Jim about football because...

Memories of my Dad
My Dad gave me many gifts,athleticism,
humor and dogged determination to name a few.He overcame many adversities to
become a professional athlete.He was often told that he was too thin,hence the nickname"The Blade"from his Oiler days.
My Dad put alot of energy into sports and work,but he also put alot of Love and energy into Fatherhood.
Jennifer,Jamie,Jimmy and JohnDavid
have many happy childhood memories from Jason street in Houston.Our Dad would pile us...

Ginny,

My prayers are with you. I will miss Jim and all the things we did with him: Going to the State Fair of Texas, 4th of July in San Diego and Lake Texoma, trout fishing in Broken Bow, trips to Lone Pine, Mt. Whitney, Apple Valley, Thanksgiving in Phoenix and Las Vegas, the frequent stops at Dairy Queen, and so many other special times and places. The memories are forever. I will cherish them and will always think of him fondly. Rest in peace, Bubba. From Elser...

Wow what a shocker it was to hear of “Uncle Jim’s” passing. Unfortunately one doesn’t ever get to say what is on their mind until it is too late. My fondest memories are of going to my aunt and uncle’s house when I was a little girl and hearing that deep voice say, “IS THAT AMANDA” I would be at one end and he would be what seemed like, way at the other end of the house (from the kitchen to the dining) and I would run and he would lift me so high above his head and carry me. What little...

Ginny & Family,

My heart and prayers go out to you and yours during this time of sorrow and grief. Ginny, thank you so much for introducing me to your wonderful husband. He was a great man and mentor, and I know you loved him dearly. As always, we are all here for you if you ever need anything. Jim will always be with you in heart and spirit. May God bless you and your family always.

Respectfully yours,

Henry Ramirez
