God is love (1 John 4:8) and it is God's love that has always lifted Jim and I from the valleys to the peaks in our 33 years of love and friendship. In that time, we traveled the world together, we grew together, and we enjoyed life together. Jim had a zest for life. There was never a dull moment because life for Jim was not a spectator sport. He was always in the game, winning and living life fully and I am so honored to have been his cheerleader, his friend/companion and his love. Jim will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. May you find comfort in your memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
