Peggy, You know Jim was my very best friend. We shared so much through all these years. My heart aches from this loss, but I have the vast memories to ease that ache. Last week when I talked to him I feared it might be the last, and my very last words in his ear were: "Jim, you know that I love you like a brother, and you know that I have you in my prayers." God Bless you Peggy and the family. Bill Wright

We are thinking of Peggy and the family during this sad time and hope that you will take comfort in the good memories you have of Jim. We remember Jim as a kind and caring neighbor who always had a moment to chat and was there to lend a hand.. We will miss seeing him out in the yard.

Dear Peggy, Over the years, I have thought of you and Jim so many times. Jim was my first boss right out of high school. Sterling Finance. on Orange Ave in Orlando. He was my boss, mentor, friend and protector. I rememter when he loved to tell the story of riding his motorcycle through the halls of Edgewater High! Peggy, you and Jim had an amazing relationship. A true love story. Losing him can't be easy for you. I pray the Lord will give you strength to get you through this difficult time. God bless you always, Cheryl McGowan
