    My heart hurts for all of you this evening. A life lost too soon, but one that was full of family and love. My memories of Jim are from many years ago, but are still as clear as yesterday. What fun we all had playing together. Jim is now with his mom and dad in Heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you all and give you comfort.
