Nora, still think of Jim often. He and Bill were best friends for so long and now they're both gone, it doesn't seem possible. The Wosepka's spent many holidays with us while we were all young. Jim was very special to me, always kind and I'll always miss him. Prayers for you Nora.

The strangest thing. I have lost my address book. I was looking up your address on the internet and instead I found instead Jims Obituary.
Nora, we send our condolences to you. I know Cousin Jim was welcomed by our Lord and Savior and also Louise and Verly. Also, many other dear relatives. God Bless. Elizabeth and Allen and Suzanne Chancellor.

I, like many others, are so lucky to have known Jim. I am especially grateful that my parents´ dearest friends while I was growing up were Jim and Nora, and I got to spend time with them when we lived in Virginia. I always hold memories of our visits and time together fondly, and now as an adult, recognize just how special your friendship was and how lovely an impact Jim made during his time alive. I wish I had more photos of him, but this is all I have, including brief moments reconnecting in recent years, over Facetime. I find comfort in thinking that my dad was waiting for him with a big hug and reunion; Like in the last photo I have of Jim, sending out an "air hug" over video call. Sending so much love to you and Jim, Nora, always - and my deepest condolences.

Nora, Although we moved away from Rapid City nearly 9 years ago, I still read the Journal from time to time. I am so sorry to hear of James' passing. If I were there, I'd want to give you a big hug and tell you that I care.
