I will miss your smile....I will miss your teasing, your jokes and laughter. I will miss your support, compassion and love and your beautiful "blonde" hair. You're in God's hands now but I will miss you desperately.

Dear Little Jim, Sharon, Maryann, grandchildren, the Robinson family, and all that loved Jim,

"I am sorry for your loss". These are words that are spoken with such emotion, but I am sure do not even reach the level to which you are deeply hurting. I wish there were such words to say, but we all know that honestly there are none.
Know that there are many around you with heartfelt condolences as you go through this toughest time.
The world has lost a wonderful person, but you have lost even more. Hold on to eachother and remember all the memories, and all his love you shared. That is his greatest gift he ever gave to you.
My heart and prayers are with you.

To Sharon, Jim, Cherish, Tiara, and Will.
I can not imagine the depth of the loss you all are feeling, I am sure it is pale in comparison to the loss that one can ever explain. Know that my prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Those that love you the most will be by your side to hold you at this time of need. Don't hesitate to reach out to them.
Remember all the great times that you have shared and allow them to carry you through this very dark time. Cherish those times and think of his smile after one of his jokes. Hold on to all of that, and that will carry you through.
With all my love and prayers.
