My dear Jim,
I will be forever grateful for all the love, care, and dedication you had for my elderly parents. You are my sister's love of her life; we know that you were an amazing husband to Cynthia. Please, give my parents a kiss from me. Inolvidablemente vivirás en nuestros corazones.

Oh Jim, you will be fondly remembered by so many people. You were a wonderful, caring manager to me during my years at Vanguard. Cynthia, I am so very saddened for your loss and will be praying for you and his family.
