"To live in the hearts we leave behind,
is never to have died."
(Thomas Campbell, circa 1888)

He was a very good friend,
and he lives in my memories.

Jim was a good friend of mine. We worked at the Indiana State Highway Department together before he went into the Marines. I think of him quite often. Hopefully he is resting in peace.

From a friend,
