Bunny, Keith, Shelley & Kelly,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Perhaps at those times when it gets most difficult you will feel a strength that comes from knowing that so many are thinking of each of you and Jim. Words will never compensate and none of us can ever really share your feelings, as you all were the lucky ones to have had Jim in your family and hearts, and we can only try to imagine. Take comfort and see joy in the little things in life that bring you pleasure,.... as I'm certain Jim is helping send along all these great things to you now. Take care of each other.
