Dear Salerno Family
My heart is heavy since learning of Jim’s passing. He put up a courageous fight, but it was time for him to be with his Dad, his Nani Josie and all the aunts and uncles that have passed before him. My prayers are with all the Salerno family members.
Prayers and love

My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family, especially Michelle. For so many weeks and months, I checked on Jim's condition as I came into school. The stories she shared, and the way she spoke of him were always of great love. May he be fully embraced in God's love now.

Dear Chris, Sabrina, Aunt Sophie, Michelle, Kevin & kids,
I am so very heartbroken just seeing Jimmy’s picture here....
Jimmy was always a fun guy.. he made us laugh at just the smallest things.. He could tell a great story!
Jimmy was kind hearted too! Always willing to help out!
I know he is at peace in heaven with Uncle Jim, Nanie Josie, and the rest of our family.
I’m sure my Phil was welcoming him home on Saint Bruno Day ..
We are the ones left here .. some day we will all be together again in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ..
God has a plan for all of us!
God bless you all.. & Rest In Peace dear Jimmy.
Love your cousin,
Susan

Dear Chris and Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was much to young. We shared a lot of fun times in high school. I vividly remember his laugh. Please know that you all are in my prayers and Jim will be remembered fondly. God Bless.

Dear Salerno Family - please accept my deepest sympathies on Jim's far-too-early passing. Those of us in the Class of 1982 at Rockhurst remember him today as the same guy he was then: funny, kind and generous. Please know you have my prayers and wishes that his memories may be a blessing to you.
