Dear Mary, I can't tell you how much my heart aches for you to have lost such a loving husband as Jim. Devoted father, hard worker, brave marine, loyal family man- Jim was everything a woman could wish for in a husband. He could fix anything and he worked with his heart in his hand.
He pulled me, as well as my mother and father out of so many emergencies for over forty years. May God rest his good soul. I'll always remember him in my prayers. Receive my heartfelt sympathy.

Mary I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He was such a gentle and loving man. I remember how shy he was when we were all in the single's club together...way back when.
My heart goes out to you and your family during this most difficult time. I pray that you will be comforted by knowing how much you were loved by him. Know that God is with you, you are not alone.
My prayers are with you,
Patty

Jim was the man that I sometimes could be, the man that I more often wanted to be, and the man that most of us will someday wish we had been.

We send our love to Mary and all of Jim's family. We treasured Jim's friendship and his warm and loving ways. Our last memory is of Jim stopping at our home to wish us a safe journey to Michigan. His parting words were "We'll see you next year," and an added hug and kiss. We'll miss him and we feel your loss in our hearts and souls. God bless. - Lottie & Ed
