My Dearest friend...words can not express how sorry I am to hear that Jim is no longer here...I cant imagine your pain...I cant imagine your loss...all I can do is pray for you, that you will find yourself again and with Gods help stay strong and go on. Jim will always be in your heart. Keep him alive for your son by remembering the good times spend together, cherish them and little Jimmy as he is part of your husband.

Paytra & Jimmy, I've not had the chance to tell you yet, but as the graveside ceremony began a yellow butterfly went from one of the sets of flowers over to Jim's casket and flew around the roses on top for a few circles...and then flew up and away. Butterflies are a sign of rebirth, I was very moved when I saw this happen. It made me smile inside, knowing Jim is at peace and having a rebirth, if you will, in heaven. I'm a firm believer in signs, and truly felt this was one from Jim :)
My thoughts and prayers to Jim's wonderful family, it was nice to meet you, I just wish the circumstances had been different.
RIP neighbor, you'll be missed!
All my love, Shay
