May you Jim be at peace. You were a wonderful honorary dad to me. You were a good friend to my mom. You were truly to good for this world. When you were in conveslent home always hoped you wouldn't have to endure it to long but you were strong. Always smiled at mom when she visited even though you couldn't talk. Thank you for helping to instill good values in me. Now you can rest
