I was a grade school classmate of Jim's at Nativity grade school. I remember him very well, he was such a kind person. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband in 1995; how hard it is, I know.

Dear Mrs. Thuente:
May I express to you and your family

I always enjoyed talking to Jim at our Cretin class reunions. He had a great personality and was always smiling.
We're so sorry for your loss.

Colleen, I first met Jim in high school and was always dazzled by his laser blue eyes.

Dear Colleen and family,
We have been meaning to send a note ever since we found out in the last year about Jim's illness. I was born and raised in St. Paul and return often to see my family, and now live in Bethesda, MD. In 1993, we purchased our engagement/wedding rings from Jim when he was with Moeller Jeweler in Highland. My ring needed to be sized and Jim kindly delivered my adjusted ring to my parents' home in Highland the day they were leaving to come to Bethesda for our...

When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced.

Colleen, our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Your old neighbors on South Pascal St.
