"Jeannine & family: I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We are supposed to outlive our children and I I don't think there can be anything harder than burying your beloved son. Your positive zest for life will get you through and knowing that you will meet again. Take care and enjoy the memories even through your tears and heartache. Take care of yourself!
