Dear Norma,
We just got home yesterday after three weeks in Indiana and heard the sad news. We are so sorry...
Sorry for your loss and sorry that we weren't here. Tell Annie 'thanks' for calling us. I'll get in touch with her soon.

Although my time with Jim was cut short, I will always remember his sincerity, honesty, good humor and the love that shone in his eyes as he talked about his family. There will be more laughter in heaven because he is there! I pray that Jim will watch over us all as our own little Lone Star Angel. All my love and prayers to his family.

Jim and I became friends when we worked together at Central Freight in Waco.
Norma, it was a joy to watch his face light up when he spoke of you, he loved you so very much.
May the memories Jim left with you and your family comfort, sustain, and help to see you through this time of loss.
"those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Mere words cannot express how each of us feel about Jim. He freely loved each of us and we in turn could not help loving him back, as if he was a member of our own families. My heart and my prayers go out to each of you.
