Sue, My heart just stopped when I read your e-mail. My heart goes out to you, you are to young to be a widow. I am here for you! Love Sandy Gast

Dear Sue:

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's death. I had the pleasure of doing business with Jim (and you) and we became good friends too.

Every year I look forward to the hunting season and spending a day or two in the field with Jim. We've had a standing foursome at Milford Hills Hunt Club for every year that I can remember and the other guys and I will miss him.

Let me know if there is anything that I can do; he was a special man as you are well aware.

Dear Susan,
We met Jim at St. Anthony's on the Lake Church.
We sat behind him almost every saturday night at
mass. We are in total shock. He was really a great man and enjoyed his conversations. This must be very difficult for you and your family, and you will be in our prayers. We also will miss him. With our deepest concerns,

Dearest Sue,
We were so saddened by the news of Jim's passing. We loved seeing him and Bernie walk past our house. We enjoyed our talks with him while Bernie explored the garage! He was a special neighbor and new friend. His kindness to us will never be forgotten. He will be dearly missed. Please remember that we are here for you.
With love,
Linda Martinez and Michael Moersfelder
