I can't believe it's been over a year. I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you.

I still wait for your calls.

Dad,

I miss you so much. It is extremely hard to plan my wedding without you here. I just hope you know how much you are still loved and missed. Words cannot begin to explain the feeling of this loss.

I still can't believe you are not here...I often reach for the phone to call you. I know you will be watching from heaven and I hope we all continue to make you proud. I love and miss you, Dad. I will never ever forget you, you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Always,

Kris/Babes

Mr. Wallace,

I wish I could have been in Tampa before you passed away because there was one important thing I did need to tell you, THANK YOU for giving me one of my Best Friends. The fact that I think so highly of your daughter is very reflective of you, the loving father who helped shape her into what she is today. Years and years of my "Is-Kristin-there?"-phone-calls and my "Can-Kristin-come-out-and-play"-kno cks-on-the-door have given me numerous opportunities to observe the love you had for your children, wife and theirs in return. One of the best parts of my friendship with Kristin is our ability to laugh at absolutely everything and I know I have you to thank for that. She definitely inherited your sense of humor, teasing ways and overall jovial demeanor. You were always cheerful, no matter how late the phone rang or how many times I did ring the doorbell. :-) I know she also inherited your work ethic; you instilled in her a sense of timeliness and discipline that helped her manage a job from a young age (hehe...starting at the Golf Course obviously) while hardly missing a day of school. But conversely, I know you also ENJOYED life (i.e. GOLF) and Florida sunshine. Life doesn't seem fair when someone so loved by all is taken away from us so early, but although you are not physically here, we know you shall be smiling, laughing and crying with us on occasions like Kristin's wedding or Ann Marie's graduation in the future. You will always be in our thoughts and hearts!!!

Dear Jim,

You were truly one of the kindest men we have ever met. You always took time whenever we saw you to serve us up something to eat or offer me a drink when you knew the day had been especially hard. Although we never had long talks, whenever we met at Kash & Karry you took the time to check out my car, even the last time when I was sure the wheel was falling off. You set an example to my daughter of what to look for in a husband, someone who was so devoted he would run baths for his wife and always forgave his childrens shortcomings. Your last words were of the pride you had in Kristin for all she had accomplished and finding someone so worthy of her love and you thanked Sommer for being such a good friend, that meant a lot to her. There are angels amongst us and you surely were one of them. Thank you for keeping my car going and helping Som and I feel we were never alone. We pray for your family as the sadness of you not being here will never go away, but you left so much goodness behind. We still believe in miracles thanks to people like you Jim. God Bless You for sharing a small part of your life with us. You will never be forgotten.

Love Janice and Sommer

Jimmy,

I have many memories from when I was a little girl coming to visit you, Rita and the kids in Weymouth. I would come along with my parents (Ann & Bo) and we would all have such a great time. You always had a special way of making me laugh. I remember you always had a funny story, and you just made my visits fun and memorable. You really are a lovely man and I know that the Barry family will miss you very much. It's obvious that you were a loving husband and a wonderful Dad. And because you have left behind so many happy memories your wife, your children and your friends will cherish them and always keep a piece of you in our hearts.

With love,

Though I was only able to know you a short time, it was enough time to see how much you meant to everyone who was lucky enough to have you in their lives. I know your family will always have you over their shoulders looking after them.

Jim - words can express how sorry I am for you and your family. Although it had been awhile since I have seen you. I have always known how much you, Rita and the kids have meant to my parents (Ann and Bo). They would talk about their visits to Tampa (to see you and the family) like it was a trip of a life time (everytime they went). Godspeed to you and I hope you will look down on us from that big golf course in the sky and watch over all those that were close to you.

peace

Jim you have always been our best friend, we loved you very much and how we miss you. We will always remember what fun we had with you and Rita on all the trips we took together, especially the Elms. You always made us feel so welcomed in your home with you and you family in Florida. And oh boy how you always cheated in dominos and how you made us all laugh, and you were such a big teaser and would always pull some practical joke on Bo and me with a straight face. You will forever been in our hearts and minds and we will never forget you. I will truly miss our phone conversations especially when the Pat's start to play. We know you are up in Heaven looking down on all of us smilling that wonder smile of yours.

Love Always

I read all the messages to Jim and was deeply moved. He was obviously a VERY GREAT man, someone who loved much and gave even more. I wish there would have been time enough for us to get to know him more, but God obviously had other plans. Now, we will get to know him through him wonderful family members and dear friends. May God bless you all as you continue to grieve.

Uncle Jim,

We miss your sense of humor, and the never ending stories of when you, Di, and Bill were young. You have a great memory, and could tell a story almost as well as Nonie. Glad you were able to visit last winter, even though the reason for your visit was sad, we selfishly were able to see you and your family. Rest in peace,

Linda, Carlos, Katie and Joe

Dad,

It has been 2 weeks since God and the angels took you. It still feels like a dream, but the pain of losing the person who meant the world to me is very real.

I know you are with us all because you never failed to let us know how much you loved us and you never took us for granted. I will continue to live my life trying to be as generous and thoughtful as you always were. I wish I had more time with you.....but I know you will be waiting with open arms in heaven; ready to play Dominos, go swimming, watch a good movie, or just sit and talk with me. I love you so much and will forever remember you in everything I do.

Love and miss you always,

Kristin/Kris/Babes

Dad,

I feel like I have lived re-lived your life. So many things have been similiar.

I just hope I can fit into those big shoes that so many people have come to love.

I will continue to live my life in a way I hope would have made you proud that I am your son.

Love you always,

Lil Jimmy
