Dear Rosalie, We are sorry for your loss of Jim, and we know he has gone to a better place, but he had his beautiful angels during his long sickness. We have enjoyed knowing both of you, and look forward to seeing your loving smile as we attend The Church of the Nativity in the future.
Love and peace, Harlan & Sandy Berland

Dear Rosalie,

I'm so sorry for the terrible loss you are suffering. I hope there is some consolation knowing that your beloved Jim has peace now. You will always have him in your heart and should never doubt that your love was his balm. Please know that you and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With sympathy, love and admiration

We are so sorry to hear of Jim's death. We have many good memories of him and the family from Christ Church when we were still in the KC area. Our prayers are with the family.

Dear Rosalie
Jims wonderful sense of humor will certainly be missed by everyone in his life. Jim's sweet relationship with you is an inspiration to me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you from the California shore.
