Godspeed, Jim. You will be dearly missed at the Pines. You made us all laugh and smile with your antics. You were one of our "favorites'. Blessings of peace and love to your family you leave behind. It was a joy and privilege to be one of your nurses. Til the rest of us get to where you're going, watch over us. Lots of love, Karlie
