Jim, I've only met you a couple of times but I see the daughter and granddaughter you raised. You were a good man. You are free of pain now, I believe, and with your wife. Take solace in the fact that your daughter and granddaughter will be taken care of by their wonderful friends. I know you will be missed so much. Rest peacefully Jim. You deserve it.
