Dear Dorine and family
I was so sorry to read of Jim's passing.
Unfortunately, I could not make it to the funeral.
I remember meeting you both in Cabo, years ago. When we both had places there.
Also that you bought one of Jack's first paintings of the whales. "Baby's first breath"
Im still in LRS. (33 years now)
Sending love and prayers for you loss.

Jim and I shared many adventures. He is one of those rare friends that impacts your life like no other.
It is said in John 14:2 - In my Father's house there are many rooms.
Jim will meet me there for our next great adventure!
