Jim,
You have my sympathies as you go through this difficult time. I always enjoyed talking to your dad when he came into the Clinic. I enjoyed his sense of humor. Blessings to you and your family. Gods grace will give you strength.

Virginia and Family: You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Jim was one of the great ones – part of Greatest Generation! We have fond memories of our times together. May God comfort and be with you in your loss.
I feel like there is some poem about leaving this earthly world and being taken by God’s loving care to heaven to live with Him for eternity there…; I wish I knew it. ♡ I’ll miss Uncle Jim. ♡
May you find comfort in God’s loving embrace,
