With sharp mental accuity, I recall the sarcastic banter, the pranks, the side-splitting laughter, and those everyday, mundane moments that turn into "quality time," without us even realizing. You (and Brian and Nick) made the otherwise unfavorable into veritable sitcom, with all of the camaraderie of a college fraternity.

You're deeply missed, and as a friend, can never be replaced.
Rest-in-Eternal-Peace.

Dear Jim,

"Yo, bud," you'd say. Then, I'd response with a fickle, mood-appropriate response, because I'm triflin'.

We miss you, bud, every day in every way.

There is no closure for premature loss.

(I finally finished my Master's in English Literature & Letters. Thank you for liking me for the nerd I am.)

Dear Betsy and Jim,
We are so deeply sorry for you and your family in the death of your beloved son, Jimmy. There are no words that can adequately express the level of grief and sadness that you are feeling. Unfortunately Harry and I have a profound understanding of your pain and I pray that the days ahead will eventually bring you peace and acceptance. Find strength in your beautiful memories of Jimmy. Some days will be harder than other days. Always embrace the help and support of your family and friends.
You have our constant prayer that God will hold you in His care. That the Holy Spirit will bring you strength and His angels, including Jimmy, will surround you the remaining days of your life until you meet again in heaven.
Godspeed, Jimmy
Love,
Debbie and Harry
