    Mary, I just read about Jim’s death in the paper and wanted you to know how sorry I am. Lorna had told me he was quite ill.
    Please know I am thinking of you and your family. I will be out of town for the next few weeks so will be unable to attend the service.

    Love, Sue

    Dear May, Heather, Paul and all the family,
    May God’s love surround you at this most difficult time. Jim is now at peace with his Lord, and with his old friend and companion, Ken. My thoughts have been with you these past weeks. Even after five and a half years, my memories are clear of his final days and I am happy that Jim had a peaceful ending to his life. Please take comfort from all those around you who are supporting your sorrow with love. Paula Stuart

    Our thoughts are with you, Sincerely, Tom and Sue Dheensaw
