Dear james, although we didn't know each other long it felt as if I had known you forever. You were very dear to my heart. We cheered each other on. If I could bring you back and take all your pain I would in a heart beat. You were a good friend and I will never forget you. Love, Melissa

Can't believe it's been 2yrs. The kitties not already with you are all safe and much-loved, with Robin, and her sister Linda in spirit (Bandit, Kodak, and Turkey Girl), and with Maria & family (Grayberry). Big Red and Pudgepot had a wonderful home with Lenore before they joined you-Big Red became EXTREMELY tame and attached to her. I always thought he had a home in his youth. Miss you, friend.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
