Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to your family. Our prayers go up for your family during this time of grief, sadness and loss. We had the honor of knowing Jim once his granddaughter, Angel, married our son. He was a kind and caring man and was always there in his families time of need. We know you will miss him terribly but please find solace in knowing he is in heaven today with our Lord. Sincerely, the Crosby Family

To my Papa Jim: we are going to miss you so much. You were so loved and no one could have been a better grandfather! I will always remember our camping trips, river rafting and ice cream custards. Send us a smile down from heaven every once in a while! We love you and we will see you soon! Love always, Your grand-daughter Angel, Kevin and your great-grandson Collin.
