Jamey, I miss you so much. I was so blessed to have been your wife and friend for all of those years. God is an awesome match maker. I have never felt so cherished in my life. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. I see so much of you in our girls. Every day I find one more piece of you in them. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I can't even put into words how honored I was to have shared that last year with you. I am the one who was given the gift of being with you and regaining a wonderful friendship, through that time. I feel you with us sometimes, watching over us. I know you are here watching over our girls as they are getting older and maturing. I wish you were here... I REALLY DO MISS YOU AND STILL LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART!

Jim was open about his life and a person who loved a good joke.
While I worked at CAP as a driver, he was my mentor; a person who keep you on focus and professional. He loved his daughters and they knew Jim was a great Dad. All of us who knew Jim will miss him.

Dear Kessiah and Elisabeth,
I never met your daddy but I did hear all about what a great man he was from your mom. When ever she travels to Ca. for work she always talks about you girls and your daddy. He loved you both very very much.
