So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I lost contact with him and am only now seeing his memorial. I have fond memories of him. He and my mom were fun loving people.

I try to get on with my life but I find myself back here...I look at your pictures over and over and the sadness and heartache rush over me. Grandpa, I miss you so much and I wish you didn't have to go. We had so many things that we were going to do since you were finally here. I know it is selfish of me but I want you back. I know you are in my heart but it isn't good enough, I want you here. The only good out of it is that you are no longer in pain, and I know your pain was a pain that no one could or should have to endure. It just wasn't fair. I know you wouldn't want me or anyone else to be sad but when your heart is broken into a million pieces, it's hard not to feel this way. You will ALWAYS be one of the most important men in my life. I love you grandpa and I hope you are resting well now that you are in heaven. I miss you

I will always cherish the time I spent with him and never forget the memories made with him. He was a good man with a big heart. Always kind to everyone he met. He will forever be in my heart. Rest in Heaven, Grandpa! I love you

To my dear friends and extended family, you all know I loved him as a dear friend, dear neighbor, one of the best persons I've met in my life. He taught me everyday about patience, understanding, tolerance, and life's joys. I am so blessed to have gotten to know his loving family also--precious beyond belief.

We fought, and fought, and fought endlessly for his recovery--yet ultimately, God wanted him home. For that I have bittersweet sadness and joy for all of you being part of my life. My love always and forever--and I see Jimmy's star every day and night. Please know how much he very very deeply loved so much each and every one of you. He was, and is, a man of God. God Bless You and his Soul, Your dear friend, Sandra Chalwick
