Dear Marie, Jimmy, Katy, Christy & Amy,
I am so sorry for not finding out about Jim's death sooner. We had a message on out machine when we returned from North Carolina this evening. I am so sad. I loved Jim. He was always the same no matter how long it had been since you'd seen him last. He had a great sense of humor & was always fun to talk to. I am in utter shock. I would never had missed his funeral if I'd known. I know there was a misunderstanding & I will speak to you soon Marie. We are so sorry for your loss. He is gone much to soon.
Love, Your cousin
Debbie, Mark & family

Dear Mrs. Kirlin and Family:
I don't know if you remember me but I worked for Jim at Drexel back in the early-to-mid 90's when he was Director of Personnel. The girls came in from time to time and so did Jim's dad. Those years working for Jim were, by far, my favorite years here. I was told of his passing this past Wednesday and wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You -

Dear Mrs. Kirlin, Jim, Katy, Christy, and Amy
On behalf of the Sims Family, I send our heartfelt condolences and loving support. My hope is that you will find solace in sharing memories and embraces.
I was a big "fan" of Mr. Kirlin. To me he possessed a "dry wit" and humor that made visiting the Kirlin household quite enjoyable. On one occasion, Jim (son) and I went to go with Mrs. Kirlin (Marie) to a prayer service that involved a "talk" on the Holy Spirit. As it turned out it was a charismatic service (folks speaking in tongues etc...) Jim and I were recruited as "catchers", that is to say, when folks were overcome with the Spirit we would "catch" them. On the way out the door to this service, Mr. Kirlin remarked, "I hope you guys ate your Wheaties... chuckle..."Did he know something? That was the type of wit he possessed. I often wondered how his son, Jim, managed to stay safe and sane with his sisters in the house -LOL- I figured having a father like Mr. Kirlin helped!
I am sure he will be sorely missed and remembered with fondness. There is no fairness is try ask "why." Living a loved one's dream is the best we can do.
Warmest regards,
Michael Sims

My thoughts are with you, Marie, and your children and of course with Patsy and Peggy and Jack and Michael. Jim's passing is a personal loss to me because we were close. The time I spent with him when he worked at Drexel will be my consolation. I loved his laugh and his easy going manner. I am sorry I cannot be there to wish him farewell.
