Not sure what to say?

I learned so much about you at your funeral.
You obviously touched so many lives, as the temple was full. I've never seen so many people attend a funeral.
You would be so proud to know that so many of your friends came in from Oregon.
Your brother Zeke's story was sure funny, which I'm glad he got to share with you, and brought a smile to your face at the hospital.
You truly are an incredible person and I'm honored you are my cousin.
My mom, I'm sure is in Heaven...

I met Jim years ago, in Miami, when a group of us went to NPF hoping to find a way to promote Parkinson's awareness. He was a great guy, and I am sorry to see that the disease got the best of him at a young age. I lost my husband at 68, after 22 years of the disease. It was a long hard journey for them. Hopefully Michael J. Fox will continue on for them. My sympathies and prayers are with the family.

Jim was probably the most gregarious and indefatigable person I've met, a guy who refused to let any disease keep him down. He took to heart his father's preachings on business and ethics, the latter of which he had a particularly keen interest in promoting. In our talks and meetings, we'd always share news about our families, and he talked most about how his boys were doing. He was especially proud of them.
