Dear Deb, Ryan, Caitlyn, and Colleen, Sometimes God places an idea in your head, One that takes you to a place where you find yourself so connected to a dear family and each of it's members. We are so grateful for so many years of memories that we created together. Jimmy was a very special person and cousin to all of us. We will miss his smile and genuine love for each of us. Words cannot express the deep sadness we all feel. Although he will not join us here, we will continue to gather and build more memories in his honor. We will join him at God's table in another time. With love and sympathy, Doreen, Michael, Tyler and Josh

I was so saddened to hear that Jim has passed away. I worked with Jim at Veryfine and we had a lot of fun times and laughs there. We were all like family, not co-workers. Jim was so proud of his family and he beamed when he spoke of you all. I'll be praying for you all.

Patty, Debbie and family,
Sorry to hear the news of Jim. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I sent this poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye that brought comfort to me when my dad passed away. I hope it helps you too.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
God Bless You All,
Judy Antonucci

Dear Deb & Kids,
Jim was a special cousin who I shared many childhood memories with. He would visit my mom's house often, his Aunty Ann, who he adored, when he was younger & we would have so many laughs & fun together! I loved seeing him at family gatherings ( weddings, graduations, etc... ) where we would tease each other endlessly. I would tease him more than he would tease me. These memories I will treasure deep in my heart! I will never forget the last time we saw each other about a month ago, he gave me the biggest & tightest squeezed hug that will last forever! My thoughts, prayers & blessings are with you all during this sad time. He will be a great big loss to so many! I love you all and I am here for you always!

Deb, I was shocked to read of Jim's death. I keep picturing the two of you on our cruise last year, laughing, loving each other's company. You are in my prayers. Martha

As a former member of the Knights of Columbus, I only knew Jim for a short time. I found him to be a friendly, caring, and genuine guy always volunteering his time and efforts for others. He truly touched many lives.
My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers to the Cashman family: I have no words to convey how shocked I was to read of Jim's passing. I'm so thankful that he reached out to me after his Dad's passing and I was able to meet his family and reminisce of all the good times we had with the combined families. He is now with his Mom and Dad who loved him without measure. God Bless you Jim and may you RIP. My deepest sympathy to you Debra and your family.
