Be assured I can and will still pray for all of you and for his eternal peace. May the angels' joy at his coming help wipe away your tears of sadness at his leaving. With love and sympathy,

Jim was a great man who was an inspiration for many. I will always remember the great time we shared on a trip to Ireland several years ago. He will be sadly missed but left behind many fond memories.

Dear Barbara and Family Members: The parishioners of St, Andrew Parish and I extend our sincere condolences on the occasion of Jim's death. We prayed for him over the years as he valiently engaged one sickness after another and it was always a thrill to see him arrive in Church under his own power. May he now enjoy full life in eternity and may each of you have peace in the knowledge that Jim was a good and faithful Christian. God bless you in every way. Fr. Joe Protano
