We were so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Jim Thompson was one of the really good people we are blessed to have shared some time with on this earth. Sherry, I never got to meet you but I recall that wonderful article the newspaper ran on y'all several years ago.  It was obvious Jim had a soulmate. My condolances to you and my friends Jerry, Jane, Chuck and Kari and the entire family.

Knowing Jim was a real privilege for me. He was a real cowboy and I will always be grateful the time he invited me to come out to farm and work cattle with he and Chuck. We rounded them up from horseback on one gorgeous Sunday afternoon. It was a first for me and something I had always wanted to do since I was a kid. Riding along next to Jim herding those cows was amazing and for that moment I was a cowboy too! Thank you Jim! May you rest in peace.

It was my privildege to have met you both when you visited Kansas.  My day was made when Jim called the office...we always had some banter going.  I will miss him.  He fought a courageous and valiant fight to the end. I am deeply saddened by your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sherry and Kari, I would like to send out my sincerest condolences to you and your family for your loss of Jim.  He will be truly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him!

Sherry, Chuck, and Kari...We are so saddened by the passing of Jim.  We will forever cherish the good times that we shared together.  He was a great friend with a big heart that will be missed by all of us.  Mike and Lisa Farris
