Dear Sue. I’ve been with you all day today in thoughts and wish I could be there in person to give you a hug. Anytime I think of Jim I picture him with his handsome smile that was always there and how much he adored you forever. As long as I’ve known you both (and it’s a wonderfully long time) Jim was in love with you and you were always the only girl for him. Please take time for yourself now, I hope you find comfort from all your wonderful memories. I’d love to see you next summer when I come home for my visit. Love, Bonnie Jo.
Dear Susanne and family, Our thoughts and prayers have always been with you and Jim throughout this final journey of your wonderful life with Jim. Now you will continue with memories of good times past as you enjoy watching your grandchildren grow and fill your life with anticipation and comfort. Love, Arlene and Wayne
Sue and family
