Dear Shirley and boys, While I am in Portland as I write this and will be unable to attend the memorial to celebrate Jim's life, I will keep all of you uppermost in thought tomorrow. I loved reading about his life and am sure that there will be many more tributes to his goodness, kindness, loving care for his family from all of your friends and family who'll be there to support you.
