Dear Renee,

I am so, so sorry to hear about this news.  I just found out today, September 22, 2010.  You have been on my mind and heart for the past few days now, you know how God works, and finally, I had an idea.  I would google you and try to find out where you were.  At first, when I saw this site, I shook my head and said "that can't be right, that can't be Jim."  I am so profoundly sorry. 

 

Dear Marissa and Gracie,

I first met your Mom when we were young girls--almost your ages--when we lived in New Jersey.  Your grandmother, Franny, and my father dated each other for a short time.  Your grandmother was pretty cool, and she had these things called mopeds, and we would ride around the block on them.  I became friends with your Mom, but then your grandmother and Mom moved down to Florida, and I didn't see them again.  Now, fast forward about 20 years, and I am moving to Florida for a job, and my father says to me "hey, why don't you look up Franny (your grandmother) and Renee."  So I did!  We met for brunch at a place in Key Largo, FL, and that's when I met you, Marissa, and your Dad.  Marissa--you were just a baby, and Miss Gracie had not been born yet!

 

Your Dad was always so nice to me.  One day when I was visiting (I lived in Fort Lauderdale and you guys lived in Key Largo), your Mom and I went out shopping or something.  And when we came back, your Dad had washed and waxed my car for me!  Let me tell you, to this day, no man has ever done that for me, except your Dad.  That's just the kind of guy he was.

 

I am so sad to hear this news.  You are all in my prayers. 

Love to all of you,

               THinking of you...and wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

Renee, Marissa, and Gracie,

 

I am sorry it has taken me so long to write my condolences for Jim, but I could not put down the words that expressed the loss I felt.  Jim was like a brother to me.  He not only taught me about the business, about cars, but he also taught me how to live and enjoy life.  We had many days when we would just sit at work and talk about many different subjects.  I always felt the love he had for his family.  The best memories I will cherish, is our trip to MEXICO on our motorcycles.  Jim and I rode in front of the pack continously challenging each other to go faster or ride with no hands!  We had so much fun and laughed so much on these trips.  His loss is felt everyday when I go to work and he is not there to talk to.  I was blessed to have an individual like him to call a friend.  I could always count on him.  Know that I am very sad for your loss.

Until we're togther again, Jim save a bike for me with a low ride.

Respectfully,

Roy Garces tu amigo!!!!!!!!! 

Renee, Marissa and Gracie and all of us who miss Jim…Our love is there and we pray that   God will soften your grief and sadness and comfort you and give you peace of mind …We know that this doesn’t come all at once, but we know God will walk us through our grief, holding our hands, carrying us if need be and HE will wipe away our tears

 

 It’s good to reflect on the past and remember the wonderful and happy life that Jim had and look forward to the future when we will be with him in heaven.

   When we wake up each and every morning we can just ask God to help us get through that day and thank the Lord at night for His help that got us through that day

 Our thoughts and prayers are always with you

    Lots of love and May God always bless all of us

There is NO pain,and NO suffering in heaven. Maybe there are hot rod cars. Jim is with Jesus. Maybe Jim will drive with Jesus as the passenger some time....on streets of gold. That thought makes me smile.

My prayers are with you all.

Man where do I start...you were always the fun uncle who could make the littlest things fun and made them possible. We shared a lot of the same crazy ideas and always got me to try something no matter how much I didn't want to do it, I did it but was never was let down. I guess I got the "no fear" aspect from you haha. I always enjoyed coming down to visit you and now I wish I could have gotten the chance to have done it more. I have so many amazing memories to look back on and I am so lucky to have had an uncle like you, couldn't have asked for anyone better. This is so hard to write but in some sort of way I hope and know you are seeing this to see how much you meant to me. Renee, Marissa and Gracie I love you and I am here for you whenever you need me. Renee he had spoken with me and was so excited to take you out on that trip for your birthday I am so glad that you two got to enjoy that time together. Marissa and Gracie your father was amazing I am so glad to have you as my cousins. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Love and miss you, Mal

Dear Renee, Marissa, Gracie,

 

Jim (your Daddy) was a special man.  We grew up together as cousins, but then we drifted miles and many states apart.  But Jimmy was always special and always interested in our lives.  He is walking with the Lord now, asking for blessings and protection for his Renee and his Marissa and his Gracie and for all of his familiy and friends.  His heart was so big and so loving and so giving and so caring -- maybe, in a way, his heart was too big for this earth and it couldn't hold everything.  His heart was so huge with love for Renee and Marissa and Gracie, love of family, love of God, passion for life, zeal for cars, gusto for adventure, loyalty to friends, a true concern for everyone he met, a genuine joie-de-vivre, and so much more -- his heart was so huge that everything couldn't fit.  He had to go to heaven and get a new, even bigger heart and now God is filling that new, even "huger" heart with love and blessings that will spill out to all of you on this earth who love and miss him.  For as much as the pain hurts now, a hundred million times more than that is the love that God has for Jimmy and for you and your girls.  Renee, you are precious in his eyes.  And you are precious in His eyes!

Marissa and Gracie, your Daddy is in heaven and his big huge heart is so full of love and blessings for you and your Mom that they will be spilling out into your lives -- love and blessings from heaven.  We love you all and we love your Daddy!  You are precious in his eyes!  And you are precious in God's eyes too!
