Dear Aunt Joyce, I'm so sorry to have heard about uncle Jim's passing from afar and won't be able to attend the funeral. This has been a difficult month for the family. We will always have fond memories of uncle Jim, especially you and him being the Masters of Ceremony at our wedding. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in knowing that he has gone to a better place. Love Norbert PS...Dawn will attend the funeral.

It is so very hard to not be with you all. You are my family still. I love you so much. Jim was such a special guy. Remember when Ron decided he wanted to go for a ride with Uncle Jim in that VW Bug you had and the next day he woke up with the mumps. So many fun memories. Love and prayers to you all.
