When I think of Jim, I think of fairness and respect. I am saddened as I think of him being taken away from you at such a comparatively young age. I pray that even in this time of grief, you will feel God’s love and presence. I understand that it is not an easy time. We all wish that the treatments had worked.

So very sorry to hear of Jim’s death.  And what stinks even more, is we won’t get to chat with him when we see him at the AMVETS.  He was always ready to share about his wonderful family, and what things he was doing, like enjoying his life at the beach house.  He will be greatly missed!  Praying for all of you!
