16 Years! Some days it seems like only yesterday, then other days, it seems forever. :(
Thank you Danny & James (?) for your kind words over the years. Dad was a kind & gentle man. The one time I saw Dad upset was the Saturday before his heart attack. By the grace of God, we had him many more years. That Christmas (1974), the Chumleys put my daughter's Christmas kitchen set together! His endearing words were "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" ....

I tell you, I was mowing today and all of the sudden I started thinking about Jim and Ruth. More than likely seeing Mike and Marie's house bedind our house. I sure do miss them both, and have so many great memories.

Our 1st Father's Day without Dad here on earth. I imagine his day is perfect in heaven. His life lives on through the legacy he leaves for generations to come.

We miss "Mr. Malarkey" - I lost my mother exactly one week after he died (I lost my Mother on 7/21/06). Not a day goes by that I don't think of her - as I am sure you do with Jim. Peace to you all- Love, Patty Folsom (and Alan, Michelle and Kim)
Can I get Ruth's phone number and address? I pray for her often.

It has been 6 months since Dad died (7/14/06). Dad was a very special person who touched the lives of those around him with his warmth and twinkling eyes. His humor,wisdom and kindness are deeply missed.

Dear Grandma,

This is Robert L. Canida, II from Pembroke (UNC Pembroke). I met you and Grandpa about 8 years ago when you were visiting Cindy and Pat.

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. Always know that I'm just a phone call away. Maybe you, Pat, Cindy and I can get together when you come home.

Take care and keep your hands and heart in God's unchanging hands.

Love You,

Robert aka Bob

Trish, Ruth and family, I'm so sorry, not only for the sadness I know you feel at this time, but for Jim's long suffering. How lucky was he to have you both over these last few years. Not many would do what you've done, and I'm sure God has taken notice. Please allow friends and family to give you comfort, now and as you try to adjust to a new life when you return home. Know that we are always here for you. Love Terri, Mikey, and Valerie

Dear Ruth and children,

I was so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing.You and the children are in my prayers and thoughts. Jim was without doubt one of the finest men I have known.His time spent with the youth of the Oxon Hill community will not be forgotten by ones having the privilege of knowing him. My children and I send you our sympathy but there is no doubt that he is one of God's angels now, just as he was on earth. Sincerely, Alicia C. Dorr
