Mary V I know it’s been along time since James  Passed away. Nancy and I were truly sad to hear about his passing however we can still cherish the memories that we had in Lubbock putting the kids to bed and playing cards all night. Nancy and I send our love and best wishes for you and your family. 

Mary V., it has been years since Pampa, Tx. I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Jim was always the gentle giant that took care of you and your family. I will always remember the kindness shown to me by both of you. May God give you strength each day and a peace knowing you will be together again. Love to you and your sweet family. Caroline Wilson Frusher

Mary V. and Family,
Our sadness for your loss is so great. Being "oilies" our lives paralleled in many ways: We lived together in Pampa where our daughters were best friends, moved to OKC where our friendship grew and our daughters continued their deep friendships through high school and college to the present. You and Jim were the same age as us, were married the same year and thus celebrated our 54th anniv the same year.
We always admired Jim's passion for his kids, his work, his friends and for you, Mary V. 
Jim's greatest accomplishment(in our eyes) are the super wonderfully God-loving children he fathered and his legacy will live forever. We love you Mary V. and are praying for your peace.

Mary V!  Jim Thompson was one of the most fabulous, joyful and fun friends on the planet!  We were so blessed to get to be with you for golf, dinners, Lake Texoma adventures, your 50th Anniversary, Cowboys games, Gleneagles events and family times over the years.   Jim was a Gem! We cherish the memories and love your beautiful family so very much.

Dear Mary V. 
Jim was a special friend and an inspiration to all of us at Schlumberger. He 'wrote the book' on client relations, and was one of the most highly-respected individuals I knew in my 30+ years with Schlumberger. You and your family are in my prayers and have my deepest sympathy at this most difficult time.

With warmest regards

I've known Jim about as long as I've been in the oil business for the last 42 years starting in OKC. I've known so many wonderful SLB folks over the years but Jim was the at the top. Ever the gentleman and friend, Jim and I had a lot in common with hunting, fishing, golf and 2 bad knees and a wife who is a true soul mate. Jim and you and your family are in our prayers.  God Bless,

Dear Mary V,
Many years have separated our lives, but I wanted to extend my sympathies to you and your family, since I know personally what you are experiencing. I had Dennis for 37 years, not nearly long enough.
