Journal entry by Sandy Van Domelen —
With an absolutely shattered heart I have to announce Jim passed away peacefully yesterday just before 3 PM. He fought as hard as he could but his body wouldn't allow him to continue. He was not in pain and went with my love and encouragement as I couldn't handle watching him die. As many know this is one of the hardest things to do. So out of love for my love, I put aside my wants and told him I would be fine. He was surrounded by almost all family but a few were missing as no one was totally prepared. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes. I know once the shock has worn off I will struggle but I have faith that will get me through. I also have my wonderful family and friends to also help me through. Love you all. This will be my last entry.
