There are never words to express sympathy at the loss of our loved ones. Tammi, you have a very special angel in heaven. He earned his wings to the sky and will suffer no more. Your special love and commitment to Jim was like no other. You gave him love and life and got him on that bridge to his next chapter. We are here for you in your next chapter and know that Jim is there to guide you and love you more now in his new home with God than ever before..... all my love ....
