I met Jim 35 years ago when he fell in love with my best friend. He gave her love, adventure, companionship, and a future for her and her two daughters. They made a wonderful family and created a beautiful life together. As with all couples there are ups and downs along with the added obstacles life throws at us. But through all of it they survived and had an amazing life. I will miss you Jim, but I am comforted by the fact that you are no longer in pain. I love you Jim mostly because you loved my best friend and showed her how wonderful life could be. Cindy, you’re my best friend,and I know what you are going through And you’re in my every thought and my prayers. I haven’t called because this time is for you and your family. I know when you’re ready you will call. I love you, we have been through a lot, and we will get through this. All my love always!
