Words can't begin to express how sorry and sad I am to hear about Jim.
He and I covered thousands of miles on road trip adventures and shared countless holidays, concerts, and good time shenanigans back in the day. He became a part of my family, too.
With my deepest sympathies, I wish all who knew and loved Jim great strength and peace through their sadness.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
