I am so sorry for your loss. I am not even sure if this is the same Jim that my dad work for in Oxnard, CA. I believe he milked the cows and whatever else he did. I see this is a JR. I am not very good with these computers. My Dad's name was David and my mom Dolores. I had a brother David and two sister Ethel and Josie. I hope you are doing well. I am sorry if this isn't the same Jim .I hope you have a great night. Take care and god bless you and take care.

I knew Jim, Margie, and Stephanie, we went to school together and were best friends. He was a loving father and was always there for Steph and whenever I was around he was nice and helpful. I am saddened by the loss.

Dad,

As your oldest child, I am deeply saddened by the news of your passing... I am more saddened about all the things we didn't do or say to each other (though, "I love you" was not one of them)... I know you loved us all as best as you could... If there is any consolation in all of this, it is that your pain has finally drawn to an end... I just wish you had left things a little tidier than you did... But, as always, we will all survive... That's one lesson in life we have all learned very well... Rest in peace, dad... I love you!
