Only 22 days ago I lost my soul mate, the love of my life, the dearest person I have ever known; my precious Jim. It took many years for us to find each other but God blessed us with a lifetime of happiness in 18 short years. Jim was a wonderful person, a gentle, kind, loving and forgiving person. He loved his Lord and Savior and was obedient to Him above all else. His next love was his family and we all miss him more than words can say. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. It was my honor to be his wife. When it became apparent that God would call him home, I reluctantly told him goodbye and that I would be strong until we could be reunited for eternity. I am trying very hard to keep that promise but, Jim, know that until God calls me home, my heart will ache to be with you again. I love and miss you so very much.

Papajim, I can never say the words to express how much you mean to me. You are one of the reasons I was able to become the person I am today. You have been like my father and I can never thank you enough for being willing to take on that role. Brett, Taylore, Mickell & I will treasure the memories we have had with you always...and your little Kierstyn is blessed to be yours. Even though she will never meet you I will make sure she knows how wonderful you were! Go rest in peace my wonderful grandfather...I will see you again one day!
