Not sure what to say?

Dear Marijo,
I'm so sorry I was unable to make Jim's "Celebration of Life." I do want to thank you for inviting me to share in your plans for Jim's Last Hurrah. Jim was gracious, friendly and always made me feel welcome -- as do you. He was a wonderful, understanding boss and all his close friends and family will certainly miss him, as will I. My deepest sympathy.

WHAT AN INTERESTING MAN!!!!!! Jim was so full of life and always ready to make you laugh! After reading all the other guest book entries it is obvious that Jim touched so many lives in such a positive way. He was a great listener and always made you feel that whatever you were saying was important!!! The last time we saw Jim and Marijo was this past summer. Although Jim’s health was failing he still managed a genuine smile and a warm hello. He was truly blessed to have such a caring...

Dear Marijo,
My deepest sympathy to you in this time of the loss of such a wonderful person as Jim. He shared his love for you with everyone around the two of you. God Bless.
