IT IS SAID THAT WHEN YOU CRY
YOU CRY ALONE BUT THAT ISN'T TRUE,
THE SADNESS YOU ARE FEELING
IS FELT BY LOVED ONES AROUND YOU.
OUR LOSS HERE ON EARTH
IS THE LORD'S GAIN IN HEAVEN.
MAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING
THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE,
TO NANCY.WITH LOVE

Jama and family
I am deeply sorry for your loss. What a wonderful man your dad was. I had conversations with him when I would see him at the high school driving his bus. I also knew him long ago when Jama and I went to school together.
I am so sorry.

Rosemary, my heart goes out to you and your family. I'm so very sorry for your lose. Jim was a very special kind of man and they don't come like him any more. I missed him when he left Davidsmeyer. When I became ill, Jim started my bus for me every morning in the Winter time. If I ever said anything bad about onyone he would always tell me I was so bad. My prayers are with you at this time, Judy Golyzniak
