So sorry about Jim, but now he doesn’t have to suffer. We love and are praying for you.
I had the priviledge of working with Jim for a number of years at the Enka Plant and thought a great deal of him. My sincerest condolences to his family and close friends.

Shirley,
My heart and prayers go out to you. You loved and cared for Jim, only as a great women of God could do. Always remember God does not make mistakes. Jim is walking with the Lord, with no pain or discomfort. Jim was always a fine man and a great neighbor. If you need anything, just let me know.
I was saddened by the passing of Jim. I have always considered Jim one of my dearest friends and the years spent working along side of him will be remembered fondly. My sincerest sympathies go out to Shirley and the family.
Jim was a good neighbor and a fine man. He will be missed by all who knew him. We will especially keep you Shirley in our hearts and prayers. You cared for Jim and did exactly what was right and he loved you. You have our sympathy.
