Dad, The last couple of weeks have been very hard, but I am so grateful for the time we had even if you were not well then, at least I know you are not struggling to breathe anymore. Rest easy now, we will all be fine. I am so sorry if there was something more I could have done to help you, that I wasn't able to do. I am so sorry you had to suffer with this awful virus, that really broke my heart watching that. Please know I will see you again. Love you always, Ellen

Now you will be sitting at the Pearly Gate instead of the Side Gate at the Joe. Be at peace Jim.

Will truly be missed! Grandpa Jimmy, I was happy to see you when coming to visit mom and us all for the holidays and here lately was every few Sundays. The grands loved you so much and will forever remember you in spirit. They truly were excited to see you come over and spend quality time and I know it made you so happy to see them. May you now rest in peace and one day we will see you again.
