Carolyn and family
We just returned from a visit with family in Wisconsin. Noticed in the paper Jim is no longer with us. Our hugs to you. We always looked forward to seeing you folks at farmer's market and visiting for a minute or two.
With heartfelt sympathy and kindest thoughts to you.

Carolyn, so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I particularly enjoyed his dry sense of humor and strong work ethic over the many years we worked together at Illini. It was a real bonus (and joy) when I encountered Jim again in the workplace at Perry Memorial. Peace be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Carolyn, I'm so sad we have lost Jim. He's the best partner/friend/husband anyone could ever hope for. Warren and I both enjoyed his company so much when we got together. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives.

Carolyn,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was such a wonderful person. We enjoyed visiting with him at all the family functions that we all attended. We had a very nice long chat with him at the last birthday party this summer talking about some of your travels and your recent home improvements. He was always so friendly and kind to everyone and we are so glad we got to know Jim since our son married into your family. Our love and prayers are with you and all of your beautiful family during this heartbreaking time. We pray for strength for you in the difficult days ahead. May God bless you and grant you peace always.
Much love,
Lee & Nancy Parker
