Pat and Quinten......I was sad when Rita told me about Jim's passing....I will always remember how he smiled and shared his memories with us. Being friends at Jim and Pat's wedding.....such wonderful memories. His body maybe gone but he will always live in my heart as a true loyal friend. Prayers for Pat and Quinten and Pam as you continue on with your life without him,
