Dear Mrs. Braun. I knew Jim when he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia, where he served as a teacher at the Ahmad High School from 1967-1968. He was well liked by all. We are all sorry to hear about his passing.

Dear Carmela: I was so sorry to learn of Jim's passing in the local paper. You know that you both have always been dear to my heart even though the years and the miles kept us at a distance. I have very fond memories of both of you and remember that first time you met when you visited me in Bethlehem...There was so much joy and laughter! I know that these past years must have been difficult for all of you. May the good Lord bless and keep you ......
Fondly, Cynthia

I had the opportunity to work with Jim several years ago. Jim was a supervisor at the Clinic at PNS while I worked in the OSH Office. Jim was always thoughtful, kind and helpful. He was a gentle spirit, and I will always remember him fondly. I wish his friends and family many blessings during this difficult time.

I used to be penpals with Noel. We wrote countless letters back and fourth during our school days. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad and wish you peace during this tough time.

Dear Mrs. Braun, Noelle, Debi, and family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I am so sorry Mr. Braun was ill. I hope fond memories of him will fill your hearts and God will give each of you strength during this time and the days to come. I will never forget your Dad (husband.) He was always kind to us when we played at your home as children and I remember how beautiful he kept the yard with all the amazing flowers and landscaping. God bless.
