James Montgomery Obituary

Hi Uncle Jimmy,
I'm not quite sure what to say, it is never easy losing a loved one and even though within the next couple of months it'll have been a year since you left us, it doesn't feel like it. I wish I could have gotten to say one last good bye to you. It can be hard being so far away from family that you don't know if they know that you love them and i just want you to know that even though we weren't very closed and didnt see each other often I love you and I wish I could have gotten a chance to say good bye. I know you and my dad are probably havin a good time together. I'm glad you have each other for company.

Hi daddy. I know I'm late, but Happy Birthday. Of course I think about you everyday, and some days are easier than others. I miss you so so much!! I miss our chats on pogo, and our weekly phone call. I love you daddy.

Happy Birthday Dad!!What are you having for your birthday dinner? Well of course im thinking about you today.You were born 56 years ago, and became my dad 29 years ago.But no matter how many years pass by I will love and miss you always.Thank you for the years that we had together. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I love you daddy and miss you always happy birthday i hope god has the best german chocolate cake for you up there save a peice for me when for when i get there finaly to be with you...

Happy Birthday Jimmy. Still hard to believe you're not here. Mom misses her t.v. buddy, like crazy. She always tells me how much she loved when the two of you would be watching the same tv show, in your own rooms, but yelling back and forth at each other about what was going on. LOL She got a kick out of that and I know shes lonely with out you there. We all really miss you. So hard to write, without crying. I know we weren't as close as we could've been, but you were my big brother. I looked up to you. I even named my hairy green stuffed monster, Jim Cutie, after you, when I was little. The other boys were so jealous! LOL Wondering why I didnt name it after them. I had soooo much fun always going to spend the night by yours & Judi's house. You always let me drink coffee. Shhhhh! I will never forget another time how I locked myself out of my apartment & you came to pick up Aaron & I to take us to Moms house. Aaron was only about 2 or 3 yrs old at the time & he just loooooved your car! He was sitting in the back seat, running his hand over the seat and said, "This is a cooool car, Uncle Jimmy!" LOL You couldn't stop laughing & just loved it! He was eating a strawberry at the time & I remember you looked back at him & the strawberry was completely gone! You asked him where the green part was & he goes...I eated it!!! You laughed soooo hard & told him that story over & over again!! You got such a kick out of it!! I can go on & on of all the great memories I have of you. Jimmy....I love you & miss my big brother every day!!! Happy Birthday! Until we meet again.

Uncle Jimmy used to sweep the floor with my hair when jeni and I were little and had sleepovers. I also remember him taking us bowling.

Well tomorrow is your birthday.Happy birthday. I cant believe you are not here. i cant help but think it is so unfair.You were so young why did you have to leave me. I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH. Honestly i dont think the hurt will ever go away. Well i want you to have a nice birthday and think about me.I love you dad always ;..(

There isnt a day that goes by that you are not on my mind.I think about you and all the things you have missed. I just dont know how to get over this loss. How can you move on seriously. Its true you never get over it you just learn to deal with it. I got the kids pictures and i always send you some and i dont have anywhere to send them too. I just am sad. I will love you always you know that. I am so happy that we also gavw you a gift. the gift of knowing all is forgiven. I trully believe that is what allowed you to rest in peace. I love you dad and im sad without you.You were proud of me and for that im happy. I<3 u 4eva.lol

Hi Daddy. It's me again. I wanted you to know I was thinking about you today, as I do every day. We had the kids at the park today, and we were enjoying the beautiful weather outside and the kids were having a good time, I miss you so much and I think all the time I wish you could see the kids grow up and watch us grow as people, but you are watching and that helps me get through the day. I love you so much and you are always in my heart and thoughts.

I just keep thinking about when you were in the hospital. You were sedated and you looked so sick.Doctor after doctor came in and told us how sick you were.The one just gave chance of survival to nothing.But we never gave up.We were there everyday. Talkig to you and letting our love do the work.I prayed that I was given one more day with you.Then that day you breathed on your own. I cant even explain the joy.The happiness.Then when you started talking to us, making us laugh everyday.We were on top of the world.The last day I saw will be etched in my mind forever.It was just us you jermaine the kids and me. we didnt have to share the time we had with anyone. I had brought you some food.And you made me scratch your back.lol.We watched some football.I hated seeing you in pain and i wish at the very least you were able to walk.We had a good time though didnt we.Oh I miss you so much. You are my dad and grandpa Jim to my kids.They still talk about you.When they see your picture they say ohh loook grandpa Jimmy.I wish you could have been on this earth longer, but i know I was given a gift from God when you came out of that sedation fine. We had a little over 2 weeks with you.I asked for 1 day.I was given such A gift and I have to lok at it like that.I love you dad. This week you were on my mind alot.There will always be a special place in my heart for you.Loving and missing you always.

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is rapidly approaching. I am very thankful that we were given the short amount of time with you. I miss you so so much and I think about you all the time. I remember last year picking up our gifts from you. You were so proud of the fact that you were able to give everyone something. The last two words you ever said to me, that I will never ever forget, was "I love you baby."

I remember when I graduated highschool I chose a classring that I wanted oh so bad. You and mom said that you couldnt afford it at the times since it cost over $300.I was upset but I understood.But then You surprised me with it anyway.I was so happy and I knew you were so proud to be able to do that for me.

Oh daddy you are dearly missed. i will never ever in my life forget you. i will make sure that my kids know about you. even the baby that is due in march. im not doing the best without you right now but im sure one day with time it wont hurt so much for you to be gone. its hard to think positive about it when all i want is for you to be here on earth with me and my sisters. i was asked today about what i want for my birthday and for christmas and all i could think of was wanting you back. I will forever miss you daddy and i will always love you. your in my thoughts always.

hay dad i was thinking of you today i was thinking of that tough think you used to do lol you kno you would twist your ear untill your toung was out then push your nose and slurp your toug back in your mouth.Oh and the time me you aunt kathy and danielle and cara stayed up till 4 in the morning playing uno.i remember when i got to big to rock to sleep you would tickle me to sleep lol.and the time we washed dishes together and you were listening to that sara song.fun times i miss it

Dear dad,We have so many memories and i wish I could write them all.I thank God for the time I did have I was given 2 weeks and with in those weeks we laughed alot.I hope you like red cause thats the color corvette i got you.i know your favorite color is blue.I remember the bbq u put together you were so excited to do that for us.We had some laughs.How about when you would take the girls for daddy daughter bowling.You taught or at least tried to teach me how to ride my bike.We would take family bike rides together.You always do the yard work and run over the extension cords or break the weed wacker wire (clumsy). Mom would get mad cause you would be playing country music outside while doing yard work.All the bbqing that would be done even in the middle of winter. We had steak and burgers on the grill all year round.When Danielle fell and hit her mouth her tooth went through her bottom lip she only wanted her daddy and you came home from work to take care of her.Sara was big and you were still rocking her to sleep on the couch.That spoiled brat.Sara's song sammy samauri samauria heap. whatever that meant i dont know.And you would say who made you so pretty who made you so pretty and sara would say mommy daddy mommy daddy.All the trips we would take to the lake.I remember sitting in the scout for hours playing with my barbies and how sad i was when the trailor was torn down. You loved to bowl.You were really good.Im to blame for your avid computer playing.I snuck and got us connecgted to AOL aand you were so mad but then you used it and you never stopped.lol.All the sports game and how you used to play sega. You would be so mad cause one of the girls would walk up and shut the game off right in the middle.How about playing micheal Bolton during you taping our christmas.4th of julys at aunt betty's house we had a great time.Your big sport ;horseshoes.i could go on and on forever of course Im your first born daughter. But i do want to say that I love you very much will all my heart. I am greatfull i got to spend these last few weeks with you. I got to hear you say I Love You Baby like you always do.I got to hear your laugh and jokes.You got to see my children and hear them call you grandpa Jim.Most of all you knew that 100% in your mind all was for given snd all of your daughters were there for you thru thick and thin.I love you dad you will always be in my heart and my thoughts forever.Nobody can take those away.

Uncle Jim,
I miss you so much already. Thank you for being a part of my life and for all the wonderful memories. Thank you for being my daughter's Godfather. I loved your jokes and your laughter was so boisterous. I know you are in a better place now with Aunt Leslie and Uncle Gregg. They have been waiting for you. Even though we miss you, they missed you more. We will see each other again one day. I love you very much. I know you are resting in peace and out of pain now. You are in my heart forever and always. Love, Michele

Hey Dad,
I love you so much! Today was so difficult for me. I miss you so much! I will never forget being little and how you would cut the grass, and my sisters and I played the game of running in front of the lawnmower pretending that you were trying to get our feet. I also cant forget the time you video taped us swimming in our pool in the backyard, AND the "military horn" you used to do to wake us up in the morning for school. I have so many great memories of you, and in the last two weeks of your life we made so many more memories. I know someday soon we will be together again, and you will always be a part of me. You are my dad, I am your daughter. Nothing can ever take that away.

ive been thinkin about u a lot lately....all the time i spent by you guys in justice as a kid, the times we all used to go to indiana, all ur little talks to me when i started growing up. its crazy how fast the time goes and how we have to learn to cope with moving on after people who were there for u in the beginning are no longer with you anymore. i miss those times, thank u for being such a great part of my childhood...ill never forget!

Uncle Jim: I will miss you so very much. I have so many memories of you, your laughter, your jokes. Though I am sad you are gone, I take comfort in knowing you are now with Aunt Leslie, Uncle Greg, Aunt Laurie, Uncle Kurt, Artie and all of our other family and friends who have passed before us. I can picture all of you playing spoons or cards and laughing at each other's jokes - patiently waiting to be rejoined with the rest of your family. It brings a smile to my face every time I think of it. As kids growing up, my sisters and I never doubted your love for us. I can only hope you know how much we loved you in return. You will forever be a part of me. Love, Tracy

To my brother Jim who I will miss with all my heart...I love you and I am so sad without you in this world. I know the time will come when we will be together again...and I have comfort knowing that Leslie and Gregg have welcomed you along with all of our other family members and friends you now join. You are now at peace and suffer no more. Endless memories of all our good times together will always keep you near and will help to heal the emptiness that I feel. Dave and I both will truly miss you and we will forever keep you alive in our hearts and in our prayers.
With all our love, Lynne
