I know Jim is in a better place now with no pain, but it is always hard to lose someone we love.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Eileen, and family,
Words can never express the sadness in my heart for all of you! Jim will be sadly missed here, as not a day goes by that someone doesn't look in his room to see his glowing eyes and smile. We all wish we could say "Hi Jimbo!" just one more time, and see that warm smile again. We only had a moment in time with him, but he will live for eternity in Heaven! Praise God!
May your sorrow be short,
Your comforting long,
The tears few,
Your memories many
May God's Peace be with you all.
My deepest sympathy...

My Dearest Eileen, and to the entire Family,
Your heart is heavy which is filled with tears and sadness as is my heart. I'm very sad right now of the passing of Jim he will be missed words can’t replace JIM, but his light is shining through the sadness, with so many brilliant memories of Jim and the laughter which I will always hold near and dear to my heart. Jim has touched me and my family with a smile that just melted your heart and the love he shared will always live on. I hope you know and believe that my family and I were so blessed to have had Jim in our lives. There will never be anyone who could ever take his place; He was UNIQUE in his own way to say the least. I would like to share with you and yours that I am so blessed and I am happy knowing that I have Jim to look over me as an angel forever!!! I know he will continue to guide me.
This is something that was shared with me quite some time ago, I would like to share this with you, it is something so simple that has helped to keep my loved ones alive in my heart forever.
"He is Watching over us and protecting us with his angel's wings"
All my love to you always,
Angela~
