Pat,
I am so sorry to hear about Jim. I have thought of you both often since I left Ontario and have nothing but the best memories of my time working with Jim. He was an amazing man and will be missed. Wishing you nothing but the best during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy Pat in Jim&&single&&s passing.I hope this poem gives you some comfort:
COME TO ME
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
He closed His arms around you
And whispered “Come to Me.”
In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping
So peacefully, free from pain,
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
So treasure him, Lord,
in Your garden of rest;
for here, on earth,
He was one of the best.
