Not sure what to say?

My dear Jim, It soon will be 15 months since you have been gone. I still miss you so much and loved you dearly. Your last words to me were "I love you and be yourself". I didn't quite know what you meant by that but I think I do now. You always told me "to be myself" and I don't think you wanted me to change but to move on in life. Thank you and I will always love and miss you. You were "my Rock of Gibraltar." Gena aka Honey and Jean

When I was a teenager and afraid of not being able to pass the driver's test, he gave me confidence. He was a friendly and supportive next-door neighbor who I was fortunate to have from age 3 to 17. There are so many memories here that I will gladly hold onto as I live next door to his old house. Deepest sympathy to Jean, Jimmy, John, and Lana.

You were a wonderful and kind person. I will never forget the first time I met you when you welcomed me into your home and made me feel like family. You were always kind and had a big happy genuine smile. I never saw you mad or angry or sad. That is the way I will always remember you! God Bless!

Jim you were a very fine man and you will be missed.
Bless you on your journey home.

A wonderful friend,a kind and generous man. His passing is a sad loss and he will remain in my memory always with the greatest affection and respect.

Wish I could be with you. I will miss Uncle Jim so much. I am so glad I was able to spend a week with him last summer and be with him on his last Father's Day. Love all of you so much.

Dad, I will miss you so very much. You taught me to be a better person by example. Thank you for the gift of your son and thank you for trying so hard for all of us in the end of your stay here on earth. I know it was a struggle. I will always remember your wonderful smile and your love of family and friends. Thank you for opening your arms to me when I married into your family and accepting me a John's wife and as a daughter. No words can ever exemplify all the love and emotion I feel for...
