Vicki, Jim was such a good guy. I know he loved you dearly. I pray that you and the family know that he is now in the very presence of God standing in the light and taking in the breath and beauty of heaven

Vicki -- I have thought so often of my "daddy" Jim, especially that smile and his love for life (oh, and cars and motorcycles!). I loved him dearly. Gary and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family.
