Not sure what to say?

Dear Liz,
It's been almost a year since the passing on of our loving friend, Jim. Fond memories will always remain in our hearts and minds.
We love you, Lizzy "pooh!"

My "favorite cousin Liz" (Don't tell Renee)-
It took me a long time to get here to Jim's guest book. I guess being the closest one to Jimmy's age, the thought of his passing shook me a bit more then I could have anticipated. I know we can't live forever, and I know I can't bounce like I used to when I was little, yet, the passing of someone so young is always such a shock.

Luckily, I have within my heart so many fond, and perhaps, not so fond memories of Jim.

Jim...

Dear Liz,
I'm glad we said most of what we wanted to when Jim was alive. Jim we miss you and love you and we promise to take good care of Liz for you.
Love , Kenny, Suzanne and Eric

Liz and Jim's Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim when I was doing my student teaching with Liz. He was a wonderful person and had sure a positive energy about him that sends me in shock to hear of his passing. To Liz hold your head up high because things will get better and if you need anything just email me. God Bless!

Dear Liz,
As you know the last time I saw Jim was many years ago, but with your diligence I had the special opportunity to speak with him on the phone last year in anticipation of your visit to our gallery in Madison.

Jim and I were very close friends in High School and we experienced many laughs together. As students in a Catholic High School we were caught sometimes bending the rules a bit here and there. One day as we were involved in a private whispered discussion in the...

My thoughts and prayers are with you Liz. It is hard to believe now but with time the pain and grief will lessen. And then you will be rich with the beautiful memories of Jim. The sadness will give way to the wonderful times you both shared. While Jim's death is truly tragic, how fortunate you both were to have shared such a loving, caring relationship. Few people are lucky enough to meet their soulmates - you both did and had 25 joyous years together. I know Jim is in a special place...

Dear Liz,

I just found out about Jim's death. I know that there's nothing anyone can say to lessen your grief, but I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you and the rest of Jim's family at this difficult time.

Fondly,
Laurin

My dearest Liz,

Jim was such a kind, generous, and unique person who enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. I cannot fathom your sense of loss and sadness, for he truly was your soulmate.

I believe that he and Rex One and Rex Two are together again, enjoying all the things they love to do, free from the constraints of mortality. In spirit, I know that Jim is watching over you, and will remain by your side for all eternity.

I am so deeply saddened by...

Dear Liz,
You know that Jim was a special person that he loved the Adams County area when you and Jim went to your cabin on vacation.
