Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Thank you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

We are so very sorry for all of your loss!
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers!
The Werner’s were my neighbors when they lived in Orange. I couldn’t have asked for better neighbors and friends. We even attended the same church, St. Francis. I missed them when they moved, and am saddened by Jim’s death. My deepest sympathy to Marilyn, their children and grandchildren.
Dad, how do I say goodbye to someone who made me feel safe and so comfortable in your presence? You were a good man with so many good qualities.
As a grandpa, whenever you visited us in New York – you left a freezer full of food, cabinets bursting with the kids’ favorite snacks and hearts full of love for their Texas grandpa!
You loved your grandkids but what endeared you most to me was your love for Marilyn. I can only describe it as fierce – you loved her, protected her and admired all of her wonderful qualities.
As a parent and father-in-law – you guided us in a firm and confident way that allowed all of us to shine when we were along side of you.
I will miss you.
There are a LOT of people who will miss Jim and grieve with his family. May many happy memories come to all of them now at such a sad time.
