I am amazed to find the obituary of Jim Wennersten. I have a picture of his works called Flowers in Sunlight 8/175 with his signature. I have owned and enjoyed it for years. Tonight I decided to look the artist - and I found the gift of his life time story. I feel blessed. If their is someone in the family that would be desiring this print I will gladly send it forward to them. Elaine (Bill) Stoub Shelbyville, Michigan
I am indeed saddened at the loss of your loved one.

Please know that the Doolittle family is thinking of and praying for all your family. Jim (Mr Wennersten) was a lovely blessing to our family growing up and we cherished being able to share many milestones with him and your family. We were inspired by his artistry and dedication to all his work. Mostly, he gifted us with the example of true humility and a servant's heart. He will be fondly remembered. We all love you all.

Dear Friends: Norm and I are deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. What a kind, wonderful person he was. He was pivotal in developing library service in Carol Stream. His commitment to quality programs, promotion of the arts, and leadership in automation were unprecedented. What I remember most about him, however, was his unprecedented enthusiasm in everything he touched. He will be missed by one and all. With deepest sympathy, Lynn and Norm O'Dell
