I am so very sorry for your loss, Joan, and family. Jim was such a wonderful man and loved his family so much. The last time I saw him was at your birthday party, Joan, smiling and happy!
I am not able to attend the celebration of Jim's life. I will be calling you soon, joan.

Dear Joan, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. You and Jim are thought of fondly by my Mom, Dorothy, as she speaks of your kindness often, remembering the many 4th of July celebrations you held at the Highlands. Rest in the Arms of the Angels and God Bless.

Hello Joan,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Jim sounds like he was an amazing husband, dad and grandpa and it sounds like you two had all sorts of adventures through 56 years of togetherness. I'm sending you lots of love and virtual hugs but know how lucky you are to have family to provide the real thing. No updates from Partners--I left about a year and a half ago but I still remember the lunchtime laughs we shared. Take care.
