For Jimo:

You were such a joy to mom, myself, and to the whole family. We laughed and cried together over the years, but mostly I remember the laughter. You will be greatly missed by all of us.

You were truly a great "Big Brother" that I knew I could turn to.

I know that you are in peace, and in a place where there is no more pain, suffering, or hurt, and that brings me great comfort.

I'll see you on the other side.

I love you Jim.

I have many dear memories involving Jim and Sheila: all the love between them, Jim's retirement party, seeing Jim and Sheila driving around on one of their adventures, and more. I am so sad and send all the family my deepest condolences.
