It saddens me greatly to hear of Jim's passing. He was such a great guy and an awesome friend of the family. Even as a kid I always looked forward to visiting with you guys because I knew there would be so many laughs and so many stories. He will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.
Love,

I am so heartbroken today as i am finding out of Jim's passing. Liz thank you so much for bring Jim to see me at Olive Garden. I have always loved him. He was such a special person, always laughing and talking about you and his granddaughter. I remember the first time I met him I was working at Kings Inn and he was telling everyone about getting his granddaughter her own phone! God bless You and your family. I know you have wonderful memories he was a SPORT! Please come see me, (you know where i work!) He will never be forgotten and greatly missed! Love To You, Alaine Peters

Aunt Liz,

I am so so so very sorry. I know words can not stop the ache nor fill the hole in your heart but know that people love you and we are praying for you and your family.
I want to share that I love the fact I am your namesake-that has always meant so much to me-my parents named me after someone really cool! I have wonderful mememories of being at your home and shop and seeing you both with Momma and Daddy. And the stories!!! I tell those stories all the time to my friends...as an adult I have been a little envious of y'all-you always had such a good time togther. However, I have found a group of people to hang and party with and I have caught myself thinking this is just like Momma and Daddy and the Lamberts etc....Love you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My heart,wishes, and prayers are with you.
