I want you to know you and your children are in my prayers. I know how difficult this is. My wish is that you are surrounded with God’s comfort, that you find solace that Jim is out of pain and suffering, and that you let God hold you in the palm of his hand. I am sorry I could not be there for the memorial service. I was out of town on a long planned trip. God be with you.

Janice,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jimmy here in the lab for many years. He was a great role model. He was one of the hardest working men I’ve ever met. I have never seen anyone so in love with his family and was never ashamed to admit it. Your family is in my thoughts and Prayers.
