Jim was a registered nurse for almost 40yrs..He loved being a nurse and his patients loved him in return. He had a true servant's heart. He always thought of me first in everything and I will miss him more than words can express. His favorite thing to do was being in his boat fishing. We spent a whole lot of time in Lake Cumberland, Ky. He loved dogs and animals of all kinds. We had four dogs in our 36yrs. of marriage. I hope the rainbow bridge is real because he was so looking forward to meeting our dogs again. Goodbye my love until we meet again in Heaven.
