JIM HONEY: YOUR BIRTHDAY IS SOON. YOU'RE MISSED SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE YOU LEFT ME. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE YOU LEFT US YESTERDAY. I KNOW YOU SUFFERED SO MUCH FOR TOO MANY YEARS. I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES WHEN YOU WERE IN GOOD HEALTH THAT WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART AND MIND. OUR LOVE WAS AND STILL IS LIKE A CIRCLE; IT HAS NO END.

Jim Honey: Happy Father's Day my sweetie. It's almost one long year since you left us. You are thought of and missed every day deeply by me and others. We had fifty years of wonderful memories, & to your last days you told people how many years we were married. Thanks for the extra OXOX's the Thursday before you left me. That was your way of saying good bye in advance. If only I knew then. You suffered in pain more than anyone should for so many years. We had & I still do so many wonderful memories of fun Air Force days, week ends away with cruises, trips, dinners, etc. Our love was like a circle; it had no end. You never forgot a special occasion, birthday, anniversary, Mothers Day. I remember how you hid baloons for me in the downstairs closet and had flowers, corsages, presents waiting for me when I woke up in the morning. How lucky I was. Nobody could realize how much in love we were, how compatible. Please keep protecting and watching over me. I'll always need you to guide me. You were a good husband and father.
May God Bless you, me and our family forever.
May you rest in peace. MTY LTT.
