Jim ~ Watching you pass was one of the hardest things I've ever had to face. I will never forget how difficult it was for you before you left us, and I will always be sorry I couldn't have done more to help you. I try to always think of the good times we used to have, and accept what God has handed us. Please know that we miss you, and you will always be in our hearts.

The boys and I will miss very much. "Uncle Jim with the Harley?" is what they would say. I will never forget the overalls and hat. I think the world is a lesser place without you, and your heart in it. It was a big one. I will stop in on you from time to time to let you know how things are. LOVE YOU MUCH. Donnie
