James R. Pickel

I was baptized today hun. I know that you didnt agree with religion but I have found a church where I am accepted. I have made huge changes in my life. Some that are as a result of losing you others not. I have grown as a person and I know that you would be proud of me. I am sure you already are proud of me. I love you very much.

Love,
Dana

I miss you so much right now. I wish you were here to make me laugh. Wish I was with you right now holding you. I guess that will have to wait for now. Till we meet again my love....
Love Always,
Dana

Happy Easter Dear. Cant believe so much has changed in a year. Never thought you would be gone so soon. I love you very much!

Love Always and Forever,
Dana

Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart. I miss you so much. Wish you were here to share the day with Christopher and I. We both love you very much. It wasn't all just "Wasted Time". It was the best 4 years of my life as well as yours. I love you very much! Love Always, Dana

I would like to thank everyone for signing Jim's guestbook. Even though I only knew him for 4 yrs, they were the best 4 yrs of my life. We were to get married in the summer of 2006. He always said he wasnt going to get married again--well he didnt get that chance. But he took a step toward that direction when he asked me to marry him. He raised my son as if it was his own. Just as he did to all the other children he raised. He loved children and everyone that knew him loved him in return....

I didn't know him well, but my son Christopher always spoke highly of "jim" I know he will miss him even at his young age of 4

Jim, A Father, A Friend....

"Pick" was not only a father, he was a great friend. I cannot express the loss that I feel. He will be remembered as a great man to all who knew him. He lived his life to the fullest and never let anything stand in his way. My condolences to the rest of the family, you are all in my prayers.

Take Care and Love to all, Sue

I was very saddened to hear of Jims untimely death,Jim was a most considerate genuine and sincere man, a man of few words at times but very sincere in his giving actions, ironically I randomly pulled out a CD Tuesday morning which just happened to be Bob Dylan and I listened to a song Ballad of a Thin man, and thought of him with a smile, One of Jims favourite songs. He lived life to the fullest and always went after his goals and dreams, I will remember Jim with the utmost of fondness. No...

I'll never forget the time Marcia sent the dog to join you in the tub!!! We certainly had a lot of laughs. You were a loving caring father to my nieces and nephews. My condolences to John and Chris and the Pickle family.
