Fifty seven years of memories with two sons, six grandchildren, and six great grandchildren would be enough to fill a book or two. I wanted you to stay with me to the finish line and we'd go to heaven together. But God called you home, and I couldn't make you stay for me and the family.  Still, I know when I cross the Jordan River, there will be 3 Jordans waiting on the other side. The pain and suffering will be gone, just joyful reunion and a new body to bask in new life with our Savior and the loved ones who've gone on before. I know you'll be waiting at the gate. See you there! Love, your wife, Pat.

Uncle James, you will be missed!  He truly cared about others. I will see you again in heaven one day. Please say hello to my Mom and Dad and other loved ones who have gone to be with the Lord. I remember how he and John always called me, "Stephersneeze" and how he made my Mom and Dad laugh so much with his sense of humor. My dad would forever tell stories about things Uncle James would say, and it remained funny each and every time. Even though he did not feel well at the end, he always showed compassion toward me. With love, your niece, Stephanie
