My sympathy to my friend, Jim's sister Linelle, and to all in the LaBonte family, especially his precious wife Suzanne. There is surely no one Jim loves more than each one in his own family.
St. John Chrysostom (4th century) wrote: "Those whom we have loved and lost are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are."
Jim will never leave. He will always be with you. Watch for sweet, personal signs of his continuing love and care for each one of you.
