Not sure what to say?

Years go by but memories are always remembered. It's been 9 years but I could never forget Jim and his beautiful wife Susan. Jim, you are in my thoughts today and knowing you have found peace brings me a sense of solace.

Jim was a great guy. Together with his beautiful wife Susan they were the BEST. Im thinking of Jim today being 5 years and Thinking all GOOD things because thats what he was all about.

Good guy Mr. D was. Rest in peace Mr. D.

To my dear friend Susan and her family:
There are no words expressive enough or deep enough to verbalize how sorry I am for your loss. Although I have never met Jim personally, I felt I have .....though my friendship with you.
As you know, Sue, I lost my partner Michael in December 2012 to complications from an illness after 18 years of being together. I personally have experienced the emotional, mental and physical pain of losing a loved one.
Although a very difficult time...

As a former student of Mr. D's at ALJ, I remember not a only a great teacher and coach, but a caring individual who was always there for his students when they needed him. He had a great smile and contagious laugh. He will be missed by all who's lives he touched. RIP Mr. D...

Thank you for sharing the last year of your journey with me.

Love,
Leslie

JD was my track coach at Brearley and he always had such enthusiasm and really cared about his program. He would often have more faith in us than we did in ourselves. Although I haven't seen him since Debbie's wedding, I was really sad to hear about his passing. My sincerest condolences.
