I am so sorry for the families loss, Jim was a great guy. I worked with Jim at Stroger Hospital and would see him from time to time after I left. He was always very polite and pleasant to talk with, Jim will definitely be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.
