My heart is broken. I loved my brother dearly and will miss him every day and long as I live. We went through so much together growing up. He was both brother and father to me. We spoke almost every day and he was always there for me. When I was suddenly very sick, he flew down the same day. I will miss him dearly.
Love, Jim's sister, Patricia
