Dear Bewley family,
I am sad that Jim is no longer next door to us so we can visit and hear his stories. But I am glad he is with the Lord & family & friends. When we moved here 20 yrs ago your parents were always sweet & helpful(though my kids thought your dad was spying on them ;-) cause if he caught them misbehaving he'd let us know) They grew to love & care about him though. Kyle especially loved to hear his war stories.
I remember once shortly before Jim moved away, I took him for a ride to the Hammond Marina. He loved it. I love Jim and miss him and Faye. So sorry about Sherry too. God bless you all. They were great neighbors and friends. Take care & love,
Cheryl Klingberg and family

I just heard about Jim's passing. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I also heard about Sherry too!! Jim and Faye were wonderful neighbors and I loved hearing stories of when they were in the Air Force. May God Bless Jim, Faye and Sherry as they are reunited in heaven.

Don and Terry And family I was so sorry to hear about your dad passing away. I really loved your mom and dad, and they are together again. I have so many great memories of your parents and mine. I spent more time going out with them than I did my own friends. Dad and Jim together poor Faye she will have her hands full now. Maybe Sherry can keep them in line. Mom was very upset when we told her. but her memory is getting really bad and she blocks out the things that upset her the most.
