You came into our lives and moved our souls to dance. You awoke our minds to new understanding with the passing whisper of your wisdom. You made the sky and earth more beautiful to look at through your great faith. And when God unexpectedly took you by the hand and led you home, you left footprints on our hearts, and, because of this, we will never, ever be the same again. Thank you, my love.

It's time to let you go Jim,you will always and forever be in our hearts.
your Brother's and Sister's

Think about you all the time - miss you tremendously.........you were one of a kind. I know we'll be together some day.
Love Steve and Sandy

I'm really going to miss hanging out with you & going out for lunch, to Father Dowd Home & also to Tim Hortons. Another thing I am going to miss about you is your humour & your smile. 
I love you & miss you terribly

Leigh & Leslie, I just heard about your dad's passing and was so shocked.  I saw him a couple of years ago at my brother-in-law's furnal and had a nice chat with him catching up on everything.  I will always remember the singing and piano playing in the apartment building. I think everyone would stop everything just to sit and listen.  I am sure my mom has Jim very busy playing the piano for everyone up there!
Thinking of all of you at this difficult time.

To Brian, Sandra & McCool Family:  Please accept our condolences on your loss.

Judy & Brian O'Connell

Coline and Family. Sorry to here of Jims passing.  I was in the Choir with him for several years.  My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

Dearest James,
I wish I could have done more.
I wish I could have said more.
Listened more closely to the music you filled our home with.
I wish I could have paid more attention to some of the things you said. 
It's so hard as I try to remember
your voice, your smile, your warm embrace. You gave the best hugs.
I wish I could tell you I miss you so much but your time had come and I had to let go of that dear hand that held mine for the last time. 
I wish I could tell you how much I loved you, how much I will always love you, and to thank you for twenty long wonderful years of happiness and of the rewarding spiritual friendship you gave me.
But now you'll know everything when you visit my heart and you will live forever there until we meet again. Say hello to your mom and to my sister Sonja, and tell them I shall come to you in the Promise that awaits  all of us who are left behind.
Your loving and affectionate Colleen.
