Wow, I know this is hard for you, but what an honor for your family. What a blessing that Jim was this kind of a man.
Good afternoon my darling daughter. Thank you for sharing the press release. Such a testimony to a truly wonderful human being. What a privilege to have known him. I love you and pray for you all.
I'm at a loss for words (I know, quite unusual for me:) so I will just say that I love you very, very much. What a nice tribute to Jim.
Hugs,

Jim lived his life doing and giving to others, and more importantly loving God and his family. He is loved and missed.
Our prayers continue for you and the kids. Love, V.
Same here sis...I've sat here and tried to think of something either humorous or deep to say but all I can come up with is that I love and miss you all very much, and you know how I feel about Jim!

Thought you'd like to know I walked into my kitchen this morning and the dishwasher was open. Daughter number one opened it to take a glass out. It didn't occur to her to close it or empty it.
