I was never fortunate enough to know your wife or your children but I remember Jimmy, my cousin. It's been a long time. My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your loved one. Know that she is in a better place and sleeps with the angels. You have a guardian angel to watch over all of you.

To Jim and the rest of the family,
no words can fully express the feelings at this time. I've known Cathy for over 53 years as a dear friend and that was way too short a time. Please accept my sincere and humble condolences.
