Dear Mary and family .... The graciousness with which you welcomed everyone attending Jim's funeral was so beautiful and inspiring. Though your hearts were breaking, your love and honor shone through. Once again, your Jim/Dad was so proud of you! In the difficult days and nights ahead, try to draw from the treasury of wonderful memories you have and allow your gratitude for each and every one to help ease your sorrow and pain. Know that you are being prayed for daily, and that Jim, now, can help in hearing and answering those prayers, from his special place in heaven. Mary, please try to continue to warm the world with your beautiful smile and know how comforting it is to all who receive it. Your spontaneous greeting to me meant so much, and I just know it's felt by all. Rosemary & Jim Burns
