You are so proud of them. Look how well you and Jim did. You are blessed with a beautiful family. Your an inspiration, your children are fortunate to have you.May the love you feel for each other surround you and ease your sorrow. Wish I could wrap my arms around you, my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are always with you. Jim will always be in our hearts. He was a very important part of our lives as all of you are and will remain with us forever. Someone very special sent me this quote when someone very near and dear to me passed just this past July and it reads "A butterfly floats by you like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment, its beauty and glory belong to the world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it" Please remember this and know that Jim is always with you in every aspect of your lives.

Sandy DeAngelis

Jennifer, Diane, and the entire Clossick Family,
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you and all that knew and loved Jimmy. He is gone much to soon and will be missed dearly. Someone once said, "The beauty of a life well lived never dies...It continues to embrace and inspire us". How true in Jimmy's case. He was the true embodiment of a life well lived. He made the most of every minute and his courage and determination to push on even in the most trying of circumstances was amazing. May the peace and love, which comes from the memories, comfort you now and in the days ahead. He will always be with you never far from your heart. God Bless.
Sandy & Tom DeAngelis, No. Prov. RI
