Thanks for love, help during difficult period

There are no words to explain our family’s emotions during this time. The light has been turned off with no warning, and we are left in darkness. We thank each one of you for your caring thoughts, prayers and support. Jim would tell me not to cry, to live on each day as though he were here. I will continue to strive to raise our kids to be as amazing as he was; full of compassion, zest and humor. With the love and help of my family, I know I will make him proud.

I knew how many people Jim had touched by just being him and I find comfort knowing that he sees now, too, how indispensable he was. I was always in awe of his never-ending energy, upbeat attitude and drive to please others. His day didn’t end until everyone else was taken care of.

We send our heartfelt thanks to you for the love, flowers, support, meals, college contributions and helpful gestures given to us during this difficult period. Our sincere thanks.
