Although I only knew Jim for a short while, I will miss him, and remember the wisdom in the conversations we had. He had a great sense of humor, and I will remember him with a smile.

Julie,



Have we told you lately how much you mean to us? You are not called "Favorite Cuz" for nothing! Again, we offer our sympathy and prayers. Call on us any time. We so enjoyed our many conversations with Jim. He could get into some deep and meaningful discussions. And as others have said, we loved his unique sense of humor. We will always remember that! He is now at peace and reunited with his jewel, Jeanne. I imagine he is tossing Milk Bones to "Ginger", too, and partying with Rudy among others. Irish peace to you!

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
