Hello sweetheart,
A year ago today you moved on to a place where there is no pain and sorrow. You are beyond all the ills of this plane of existence and when ever I start to cry and mourn, I remind myself "He is safe ,now." and it becomes clear that I have no reason to mourn or grieve. You will never know the loss of parents, children, wife you are beyond all of that sadness.
Both Michael and I miss your presence very deeply but neither of us begrudge you your rest, darling boy.
Last weekend, your wedding anniversary, this week a year gone; this has been a very hard time for your sweetheart, Rita.
I hope she can find some comfort too. You made a good move when you married her.She is dear to us as well.
Sleep well, dear son, sleep safe.
Love always Mom and Dad Mike

We haven't talked to your family today, Sheila, Gene, Christopher Michael and Sara were here for the day.
We try not to call Rita on Sundays, knowing how the treatments wear her out. We know too that this must have been a hard Father's Day for them without you.Each of them misses you so much each in their own way.
Your bio-Dad is going into the hospital tomorrow for heavy duty surgery. Suppose you know that already where you are, though. We are praying for him and we hope you will spend a little extra time with him the next few weeks.
Happy Father's Day, my sweet boy, how I wish I could have called and heard your voice today. But an extra prayer or two will have to do I guess.
Michael is ill, would you please spend some time with him as well?
You are so missed, by so many people, more than you ever would have thought.You meant so much to many many people as a person, family member, co-worker, role model.You were and will be remembered as a remarkable man in a world where those are all too few.

good morning, Sweetheart,
It is 8:30 in AZ and I hope the place your body rests has a flag and some flowers by it this morning, Memorial Day 2005.
You would like that, I think, although you would claim you were no fallen hero. There is no one in all the family who would agree with you. You crammed so much of life into 49 years almost as if you knew you would have less time than most.
You did things most people never accomplish; fulfilled your dream of military service, followed in your
bio-dad's footsteps as a police officer, spent your life helping and working for the public good, finally found a best friend to love and marry, gave three children a father they never had. You were and are a fallen hero, son of mine.
Last night I had Michael laughing about the time you came home from Polk and walked through the airport saluting every officer you could find especially those with both hands full just to bug them. You did it so well too, ramrod straight, dead on serious, perfect salute and then as we would walk away you would chuckle, and say,"Let's find another one, Mom."I'm always happy when I can make Michael laugh about you ;he will not speak of you otherwise and he cries when your name comes up.
I won't ever forget Ski grabbing my arm and saying in alarm,"What's he WEARING?" as you walked smartly down the ramp. You had never told him you were in the service.He was flabbergasted.
Well, dearest boy, sleep on.One day I hope to see your resting place, just as one day I hope to hold you in my arms again.
I miss you and hold you in my prayers every day.

Hello Jim,
Well Mother's day has come and gone. Sheila, Gene and the babies came down, Rita called, so did Scott and Pattye.And even though we never intended to, when the last call was over, we cried with our arms around each other missing the one person from whom logically we never expected a call.Holidays are difficult dear boy, but so are the very ordinary days. Your absence is always there like an elephant in the room not mentioned but always acknowleged and felt.
Do you remember the time you called from Korea and I was so excited to talk to you I kept forgetting to say "over" or to wait for you to say it.??
Do you remember Aunt Bette? She is with you now, lots of people to take care of you and for you to show around.Michael and I agree you probably got the Pope's autograph or maybe you provided crowd control when he arrived. Know you are in the thick of things.Saw some video of an apartment house fire from the inside the other night and thought of the pictures you took during training.
We hold you in our thoughts, prayers and in our hearts love always,
Mom and Dad

Thought of you today! Think of you everyday if the truth be known. Miss you greatly. Had another loss in our extended family. Please be kind enough to show Robin the ropes. Help her to feel at ease up there as you made so many people feel at ease down here.
Love, your sister.

Dearest Jim,
Tonight we would have called you and according to custom rendered an off-key version of Happy Birthday; we would have told you how wonderful we hoped your day had been, apologized if the card was late, talked about some memories and discussed some of your experiences on the job.
Now of course, that will not happen.
I,who knew you first, whose body held you and who knew from the beginning how special you were, and are, mourns you.
We,Michael who loves you dearly and I hope your first birthday in Heaven was as wonderful as the one when you played war in the "vacant lot" behind the house on 15th place. You always said that was your very best birthday. We miss you,think of you , talk about you, everyday.
You are always in our prayers.
Love Mom and Dad Mike

Uncle Jimmy was my favorite uncle, and I am going to miss him terribly. Spending Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner at his house with the rest of our family was the best time of the year. He was the funniest, and the nicest uncle. I shall always remember him this way.

Rita, Rachael, & Cody,
I address the 3 of you, specifically, because I'm closest to you and know how you adored him so much. Every morning I wake up, he's on my mind, just as you 3 are. In one of my websites, I wrote a dedication to him. The first thing that came to mind and the only thing I could say was: Jim, God is lucky to have you in his company. I then couldn't help think of being in his company. He told me that same joke about his 4 previous marriages and the mushroom thing. As naive as I am....yadda, yadda, yadda. He got me. I miss his jokes that take me 2 hours to get. No one else can make me laugh hours after telling me a joke, as I'm driving home. I vow to the 3 of you to do whatever I can to support you in any way that I can. Accept my love and prayers.

Dear Jim & Mayda
Very sorry to hear of your loss. I found this & thought you might find it comforting:
"Death Is Not The Enemy"
"I often feel that death is not the enemy of life, but its friend; for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious. It is the truth that time is but lent to us which makes us, at our best, look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping.
We are like children privileged to spend a day in a great park, a park filled with many gardens and playgrounds and azure-tinted lakes with white boats sailing upon the tranquil waves.
True, the day allotted to each of us is not the same in length, in light, in beauty. Some children of earth are privileged to spend a long and sunlit day in the garden of the earth. For others the day is shorter, cloudier, and dusk descends more quickly as in a winter's tale.
But whether our life is a long summery day or a shorter wintry afternoon, we know that inevitably there are storms and squalls which overcast even the bluest heaven and there are sunlit rays which pierce the darkest autumn sky. The day that we are privileged to spend in the great park of life is not the same for all human beings; but there is enough beauty and joy and gaity in the hours, if we will but treasure them.
Then for each of us the moment comes when the great nurse, death, takes us by the hand and quietly says, "It is time to go home. Night is coming. It is your bedtime, child of earth. Come; you're tired. Lie down at last in the quiet nursery of nature and sleep.
Sleep well. The day is gone. Stars shine in the canopy of eternity."

JIMMY WAS SPECIAL. HE WAS THE FIRST GRANDCHILD OF ALBERT AND BEATRICE SICARD, MY FIRST AND ONLY NEPHEW, A SPECIAL COUSIN TO MY CHILDREN. HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL CHILD AND A HANDSOME MAN WITH A SOUL AND SPIRIT TO MATCH. HE WAS A LOVING HUSBAND, FATHER AND GRANDFATHER. HE WAS A TRUE AND LOYAL FRIEND. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM. AND THE WORLD WILL BE POORER FOR HIS PASSING.

Uncle Jimmy, Mayda, Sheila, Pattye and Aunt Val,
I will never forget the fun we had growing up. The camping trips, Easter Dinners, Christmas, Weddings and just about every other holiday or weekend when we were all so young. I'll never forget the days at the Hollywood Fashion Square when Little Jimmy would watch over me an my friends. He always thought we didn't know he was following us around, to keep a watchful eye, but we knew he was there. I will always have fond memories and lots of love in my heart for such a caring man. My prayers go out to each and everyone of you, and know in your heart that he was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, father, husband and especailly a very special cousin to me.
I LOVE YOU ALL.....Marin

Dearest Jimmy, You are in God's heavens now amongst all the angels and your loved ones who have been awaiting your arrival with their arms stretched opened wide. You have left your earthly family with such wonderful memories. My prayer is that God will give each of them the strength and comfort they need during this time of sorrow, and as each day passes the sadness and emptyness they feel today be replaced with smiles of all the good times and eternal memories!!

Sincerest condolences from me and my segment of the family. While seperated from many of us during his lifetime, Jimmy's accomplishments have always made all of us in his extended family proud. He will be sorely missed by those who were closest to him and by all of us who remember his caring smile and dedication to helping others. Our especial sympathy for Jim's parents, who have born the sorrow of losing a child, the first of his generation to be taken from us. Know that we all understand.

My sincere condolensces to the family of James during this very difficult time. My own son died four years ago and I know how hard it is to lose somebody in the family. I never knew James but I offered support to his parents over his illness, so I can only hope that at least this brings a kind of release.

Journey
Too soon, goodbyes taken,
steps along a new uncharted path,
hesitant at first, gain confidence
as wonders undreamed of enchant
laughing eyes, freed from all pain.
Those destined to remain,
though bruised inside,
are brushed yet by
a gentle touch, reminding them
that the love will always remain
in their hearts.
for James A. Maloney

I also didn't know James but I do know (and love) his mom. She is a caring and dedicated public servant. I am sure her influence, passions, and love, helped shape his short life. He is a very special person.. my prayers are with his family. In this format, it was wonderful to see his photos and read about his wonderful life....he was greatly loved and will be sorely missed.

Dear Jimmy and Mayda,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Rita during this sad time.I wish I could have been there to be with you and to say a last goodby to my beloved nephew, Little Jimmy.I can't image how difficult it was for you these past weeks.
I didn't see much of Little Jimmy after he moved from Florida but I will cherish the memory of his ever smiling face and blond curly hair as I watched him grow into manhood.I will remember the many holidays we all spent together at Maime and Papa's.Now he has joined them and rests in peace.He will be in our thoughts and prayers forever.
We Love You,

Dear Jim and Mayda:
It is very hard to convey through words how deeply sorry we all feel about the death of Jimmy. At this extremely sad time, we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family.
Jim, it is hard to even imagine how devastating it would be to lose a child. But even though we all have to leave this earth one day, the Almighty always calls first those he loves the most. By reading the thoughts expressed by friends and family in this guest book, we know that Jimmy was a person who touched everyone's life in a positive way. His memory will always live in those who knew and loved him.
Again, to you and all of Jimmy's loved ones, we extend our most heartfelt sympathy.
Sincerely,

I remember the days of working with Jim in Sun City West. We had a good time back then and I can remember Jim always smiling. He always had a great respect for his job and his patients. He was ready to help whenever called on. My wife and I had seen Jim and his wife recently at our martial arts studio, where he would come in with his son Cody. I had talked with Jim for awhile and we got right on the topic of the fire dept. I have always missed the times we had spent working together back then, with all of the guys.I have wonderful memories to think back on. Thank you Jim. God bless all of your family. From all of us.

When I see supple grasses move together,
I'm reminded of how voices blend
And move together, like cool winds
That push the clouds, and touch tenderly
The wings of flightless birds. The trees
Sing too, and bend above the lovely green.
I know in time all dances end;
The grasses sleep; bird's wings fold in.
Yet in undulating fields I see the
Timeless ballet, and know that we
Can carry Time, like melody
Within our hearts until, earthbound,
We bow at last; those listening
May hear us singing as we pass,
In the breath that moves the dancing grass.
******
May all who knew Jim hear him singing still, and may they be comforted by the song.
Anne and David, my thoughts are with you.

"good day sunshine": this is a beatle song from the revolver album.
the first day i met jim in 1989, on our shift, we had a drill to complete. it was a hot day, and when we were done, jim had taken off his fire helmet and the sun reflected off the sweat on his forehead and actually blinded my eyes! i said, "shine, please wipe your forehead, because you're blinding my eyes". from that day on i called him shine. the nickname stuck and everyone started calling him shine. but nobody knew why they were calling him shine.
so, good day (sun)shine! god speed.

To our son Jim - Our prayers are with you and your loved ones.
My journey starts with a soft voice calling me into the night.
I am lifted up and drawn toward a beautiful light.
I am leaving my family, friends and all other earthly things.
I am like a bird going toward the heavens, trying out my new wings.
But as I soar upward everything becomes so clear.
Special arms are wrapped around me, removing all my fears.
I am an eagle, climbing high over the pine trees,
the lakes and the land.
A special love is gently leading me,
taking me by the hand.
I have wings, I go higher into the deep blue of the sky.
But I am leaving you and I wonder why me,
Oh God, why?
I fly like an eagle--but am more like a dove.
For I am leaving you all with a heart full of love.
My journey is taking me to a home far away.
That same voice promising I'll see you some day.
I leave you with so very much regret.
But please--do not grieve for me yet,
for my soul and spirit are finally free.

So many things come to mind when I think about you Jim.
We had fun when we were on the same shift, but what stands out more than anything is you never had the word "quit" in your vocabulary. You never quit anything you took on whether it was on the department, at home or elsewhere.
You provided unselfish dedication to your family, career, the community of Sun City West and so much more. I will always smile when thinking about some of our escapades, projects we took on, practical jokes we played but most of all I’m proud to say that you were a partner and an awesome paramedic.
I want to leave a couple of pictures here and a poem that was given to me when I lost my father. It helped me when I lost my mother also and I hope it will bring comfort to those who visit here.
Rita, Rachel, Adrian, Ron, Cody and all of your family, I hope this brings comfort to you also.
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!”
220;Gone where?”
Go ne from my sight. That is all.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
“He re she comes!”
An d that is dying.

From your first breath you were someone special. Your last breath arrived too soon . There is nothing that can heal this loss. Our precious boy, you will be missed until our final breaths. We know you are with your grandparents now, all of you resting in God's hands.
