I worked with Jim for several years. He was the kindest and most genuine man I have ever known. He always spoke to lovingly about his family. I am praying for you.
Susie and Everyone, You all helped Jim through to the last. The pain is now all gone. He is at peace; his soul is with family who have gone before. He would say there is no need for tears for he was so blessed with your love. Celebrate his abundant life: family, friends, fields of ripening grain, music, home and faith. All of our love, Patrick and Christine
Tamara Stanley (Joan's daughter) has given me permission to share her thoughts today:
God’s gift of bringing his son to heaven is our gift to know we will see them again~ as we suffer and have pain now we are reminded of the pain and suffering Jesus endured as His father watched~
doesn’t make it easier, it’s helps in time but we know if God was standing over us asking us to come with me; we would answer like P with tears full in eyes and seeing the memories of his family~ he looked back at God and without hesitation took His hand~
MEMORIES from M (Joan's granddaughter and Patryck's sister)...
Patryck is there to welcome him and follow Jim through his first steps in heaven~
gentleman we loss here but sure God has many more plans for him.
