Dear Annette and family,
We were saddened to hear of the loss of Jim. He was a great person. From high school to present. He always made me laugh. I loved talking politics with him. He was a die hard Trumper. Everytime I went to Valley I looked for him. He will be dearly missed. Please take comfort in knowing he is in heaven with your dear Kristen. They will be together and will be waiting for you when it is your time. Until then hold dear every happy memory you have of him. Hold him close to your heart. Talk to him, he will listen. May God give you all peace in the coming days and wrap His loving arms around you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.
Love,
Larry and Bonnie Winch

I miss you, my sweet cheeks. There wasn't anything in the world that you wouldn't do for me. You gave me strength, hope and so much love. I'm going to miss your laughter, your smile, your positive energy, your kisses and your love. Every morning, ending our phone calls, whenever you left the house and every night before you went to bed you never fail to mention to me how much you love me. I don't want to travel through life without you... but I must find a way go on without you. I miss you and I love you so so much. I should have told you more often how much you meant to me,my handsome husband. Thank you for tolerating me, loving me and giving me the 2 most precious gifts, our children. I love you...I miss you.
