I cry tears for moments past and for those that will never be. My tears are not for me alone but for his best friend, family and so many who loved Jim which was so very easy to do. There will never be another love like the kind we shared with him.

I miss you so much. I'd give my last breath to have you back with me. I know you hear my heart...Love knows no distance.

"Let the world stop turning. Let the sun stop burning. Let them tell me love's not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart the only dream that mattered had come true: In this life I was loved by you!"

Jim truly loved Kelly as his own. She adored him too. That laugh.....he laughed like he loved...with every inch of his soul.

I remember how excited Jim was afterwards. He actually got tips and had "fans" buying drinks!

I remember his anticipation of singing me down the aisle....but wouldn't do it alone.......Mark was right by his side, as always.

It was three years ago today that you left this earlthy place. I choose not to dwell on how you left but revel in how you lived. You know what's in my heart, I don't need to write it all here, but thank you Jim for being you, for giving me the most indescribable love two people can share, and for leaving the legacy that is you with so many. You are missed and loved more than any words could possibly convey. I love you. Always will.

Your presence has been ever so strong lately. I know you're watching over all of us as we make our way through life without you by our sides. Your birthday is closing in as is our annual Jim Jam tribute....a day I know you'd be in all your glory.

Happy Birthday My Jimmy.....I always tried to make it such a special occasion for you. You came to me in my dream last nite, we were together and I remember feeling ecstatically happy, I rolled over looked at your side of the bed and said "Happy Birthday Babe"....I opened my eyes, you weren't there. I know you're celebrating in Heaven. Everyone is raising a glass to you today. Hope your beer is cold and your music divine. Happy Birthday Babe.
Wife & Soulmate
Congratulations Babe...the book is filtering into the hands of many excited readers. We all know how extremely pleased you'd be. Wish you were here to celebrate with us...it's bitter sweet. I also know how very very very proud you'd be of Mark...no wonder you guys were soulmates, he's done an amazing job. Not a day goes by that I'm not missing you. We're approaching a year and the gigantic hole in my heart just refuses to close. All my love, always...IT IS.

It's been 10 months today since you left this earthly place. I miss you and my heart hurts. Tomorrow we would have celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. I plan a trip to Fort Rock to commemorate the happiest day of my life. I know you'll be with me there, reliving our perfect day. I forever miss and love you. It Is.

Joe, I didn't know how to reach you but did make efforts to try. I think you said it best, there are no words. I miss Jim every moment of every day and try to focus on all the positive, amazing moments we shared. It helps to know how many truly loved Jim and that none of us are alone in this grief. I'm including my email if you'd like to get in touch, I'd love hearing from you. Peace and hugs, Lori (loridance463@aol.com)

I sense Jim already knows but wanted to share with everyone else. Some of Jim's ashes will be scattered at the L.A. Coliseum thanks to Walt and Kelly who are taking Jim there this week. I thought it a perfect idea when Walt asked me about it and just keep smiling in my heart knowing Jim will forever be on the field every time his beloved Trojans play. I love and miss you more than words can say Jim. I feel you around me so much and just wish I could physically be wrapped in your arms once again. I know you feel my love, that will never cease. It Is...always will be. Your Lors

Happy Fathers Day Jimmy. I've called and checked on the boys. I'm so sorry you're not here to celebrate this day with them, especially since it's Kev's first fathers day as well. You'd be happy to know that Kev and Dan are together and they know they can call me if they need to. You were an amazing dad and everyone knows that. I know they miss you, possibly more today than usual, but know that we are all looking out for them and will do our best to make sure they're okay. I miss you baby, so much, and always will. You will always be my soulmate, best friend and my once-in-a-lifetime love. I'm proud to be able to say I'm your wife...no distance will ever change that or the love we share. Be at peace and know that so many keep your memory strong and your love even stronger. It Is!Wife-Soulmate
No surprise how amazing you made the night for me...you came through so strong...I bet before long you'll take the place over. I'm glad you are well and happy. It's made a difference for me, truly. I look forward to more visits and the continued sense of your presence and love. Thank you so much babe...we are...it is!!

I'm praying so hard I'll "hear" from you this evening...you know. I Love you more than words can say. IT still IS.

You're heavy in my thoughts as usual. I know you'll be looking down over your brother as he has his surgery today. We're all praying, staying positive and expecting the best outcome. We're still working on all the tributes to honor you and the incredible human being you've been. I've been the luckiest woman on earth to be able to share in your life. My heart still aches for you daily and I know when my time here is done, you'll be "lidding" and waiting with open arms to welcome me where you are. I will never stop loving you Jimmy, it's embedded deep in my heart and something I don't have the power to change, nor do I ever want to. Yours forever and beyond...it is. Your Lors

Missing you bad babe. The film showing last night was great..you'd be so proud of Mark as it must have taken so much emotional courage to do what he did. We all think your visit yesterday was pretty awesome. I'll be looking for a smiling hawk flying overhead everywhere I go. I love you Jimmy. It Is. Forever and Beyond, Your Lors
Wife-Soulmate
5 months ago today you left this earthly place. I never stop missing you and though my heart is still overflowing with love for you, it aches. I pray you're in an amazing spot with incredible weather casting on waters that are too magnificent for our eyes to even imagine. Missing and loving you as always babe. IT IS! "You were just too beautiful for a world like this". I love you Jimmy. Forever Your Lors

Thanks for visiting me in my dreams last night babe. I treasure those dreams but they somehow make me miss you more when I'm awake. My hope is that you continue to feel the amazing amount of love I have for you. Time will never change that. I miss you Jimmy. It Is, forever. Your Lors
Wife-Soulmate
So yet another day without you by my side. I miss you. We always talked about there not being words to describe the love we share, actually, you used to say our love is indescribable. I feel the same way about missing you...there are no words. I will always love you my Jimmy...forever and beyond..it is.
Wife-Soulmate
It's been 4 months to the day since you left. At times it feels like only yesterday, at other times it feels like an eternity since I saw your smile. You are so very deeply missed and loved. I think we all felt your presence at the Jim Jam on Sunday, it was an amazing tribute to your zest for life and love of music. You would have loved jamming with everyone, you'd have been in your element for sure. I hope you're sitting somewhere beautiful, looking down on all those who love and adore you and smiling that infamous smile of yours, happy that we're all joining together to celebrate you. I love you my Jimmy...always have, always will. You remain my one true love. It Is...as always, Your Lors
Wife and Soulmate
As most know, today Jim would've turned 51. It doesn't seem like a whole year since we celebrated Jim and Mark turning 50 with a party and music here at the house. A typical birthday for Jim....breakfast in bed, notes and messages throughout the day, a special dinner of his choice and gifts, usually to do with music, fishing or outdoor gear. Although Jim would say,"seriously babe, I really don't want anything", he'd spend the week before his birthday trying to get me to slip up and tell him what he was getting. Those memories make me smile. This is truly a difficult day for all of us as it was not a shared holiday, it was Jim's day. I loved making it all about him. I'm praying for peace for his mom and the rest of his family and friends as we struggle through this day. When you're sitting at dinner tonite, whether you're drinking water or wine, raise a glass to Jim and wish him Happy Birthday. I know that's what we'll be doing. Happy Birthday my Jimmy. You are so missed and loved. It Is.... Your Lors
Wife-Soulmate
Just missing you as usual. Wish you'd appear in my dreams and tell me what you want your book called!! We are all working so hard for this, we want it perfect for you. We all miss and love you so much Jimmy. Keep feeling my love. Forever...it is.
Wife-Soulmate
It's been 3 months today babe. I miss you more in every moment. I hope you continue to feel my love as I know it knows no distance. I love you Jim. It Is.

My Writer Boy, You'll always be my Valentine. There just aren't words. I miss and love you so damn much. It Is!! Forever, Your Dancer Girl
Wife and Soul Mate
I miss Jim in every moment. So many things I wish he were here to see and do. It's like walking through life with your mouth veiled only being able to take half breaths. It hurts, it sucks, it's painful. I miss you my Jimmy. It is.
Wife & Soulmate
I look forward to the New Year as it has to be better than last but am having a difficult time looking to a future without Jim. There are no words. I pray that everyone has a healthy, happy and safe New Year and that time will help heal the rawness of our pain. I miss you my Jimmy, I don't think I'll ever not miss you. All my love remains yours. It Is, Lors
Wife & Soulmate
As most of you already know, and for those of you who don't, Jim wanted to be an Organ donor. I honored that wish. I wanted to share some news that I received in a letter today from the Lion Eye Bank of Oregon. Thanks to Jim, 2 cornea transplants were performed and 2 people who were blind now have the wonderful gift of sight. I have the opportunity to send letters to the recipents through the eye bank to help donors/recipients remain anonymous if they wish. I plan on doing such and will post if I receive any response. How beautiful a gift...Jim's selflessness lives on. I love you Jimmy. It Is. Lors
Wife & Soul Mate
Merry Christmas My Jimmy. Today or any day will never feel complete without you here. You know what's in my heart...you always have. I pray you're at peace and continue to feel my love every moment. It Is. I love and miss you more than words could ever say. Christmas love to you babe, Your Lors
Spouse-Soulmate
As the holiday nears and we all try to just breath and get through it, please know that Jim would want everyone to enjoy gathering together, good times, good laughs and such. He rather despised the "commercialism" the holiday has become but loved seeing everyone and spending time with family and friends. Please take time to recognize those special moments that we're given each and every day. I miss Jim every moment but try to keep on keeping on knowing that's what he would want. It Is ~ Forever and Beyond.
Wife-Soulmate
I miss Jim every moment of every day. The outpouring of love and support I continue to receive is amazing. My strength comes from my memories and the realization of the unique once-in-a-lifetime kind of love that Jim and I shared. I'd give anything to have people know what that feels like. It made Jim and I so happy....in a contagious kind of way..and what a better world we'd live in if everyone could know that kind of love. "It Is"....always will be. Lors
Wife & Soulmate
I'm sure I'll be in a better frame of mind to write more at a later date. For now, as simply as I can put it, I am the most blessed person on Earth to have been given the time I had with Jim. My heart will never beat quite the same but I'm holding on to all the beauty and love that Jim not only gave me in life, but taught me and showed me. So many incredible places I've been and amazing things I've seen thanks to him....and to share those with him...well..that my friends is indescribable. Our love can not be duplicated or replaced. He will forever be the one true love of my lifetime. I'm thankful to have had with Jim the kind of love that most people search an eternity for but are never lucky enough to find. Thanks Jim...."It Is".
