Goodbye, dear Jim, you´ve earned your rest,
Surrounded by love, you were truly blessed.
Joyce by your side, your children and kin,
With thirteen grandkids, the love would never end.

You were greeted in heaven by family so dear,
Your father, your mother, and brother now near.
Though you will be missed, Jim, we know you´re at peace,
In the arms of the angels, where all pain will cease.
Your legacy lives on, in stories and song,
In hearts full of love, where you´ve always belonged.

Joyce, my sister, Nancy Schaeffer, so treasures you and will be a wonderful supportive friend as you learn your new life. My Jim rest in eternal peace.

To all the Kaiser family. My deepest sympathy at this most sad time.
My memory of Jim is his smile, a delightful laugh, and His kindness. He was such a fine man and an example for us all.
