What a privilege to get to know Jim and you, Cathy, for even just that short time at Kobacker. I'm so glad he got to be at the rehearsal dinner and wedding, making memories I know you'll treasure forever. We won't forget your beautiful family or the honor to be a small part of your journey.
Deb, RN

Nancy´s and my thoughts are with you. I will always remember the good times we had at the Shadows and Jim´s effervescent personality. He was a good comrade and roomie. One of a kind in my book.
