I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was such a kind and sweet man. He took care of our taxes for years. Every time we sat at his desk, he had pictures of his beautiful family. You could hear how proud he was of his family, every time he spoke. He will be truly missed. Goodbye for now, but we will meet again in Heaven!
