    I am so sorry that you had to lose Jim at such a young age. You and he had such a fulfilling life and he was a great role model for your children. He was one of my five best friends and two of them are gone leaving Sam, Ray and me. We had such great times together and those are the times I'll remember. God bless the whole family as you heal. I will be counting on reuniting with him and John once I get to heaven. I am optimistic that we will all be there someday.
