Stacey and family, so sorry for your loss Jim was one of a kind. It was a pleasure for Harry and I being able to work with him and call him a friend. God bless you guys and thoughts and prayers are with you.
Uncle James. While we never met you, nor did you or your lovely family ever contact us, my father (your brother) Dennis always taught us to demonstrate respect and dignity to our extended family members. We pray for your soul. May you rest in peace. To our cousins, Aunt Stacey, Amanda, James, Brian and Stephanie, we send sincere condolences for your loss. We pray that time heals your sorrow, and in time you might come to know and recognize us as family.
Lamento mucho escuchar esta pérdida inesperada. Por favor, acepte mis más sentidas condolencias.
Brother James: “Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” King James Version (KJV)” Rest in peace. Brother. I looked up to you as my older brother. I’m indebted to you and Pam for helping me in my time of need. I wanted nothing more than your acknowledgement that “I made it and met your expectations and approval” like you did. You were a hard worker and I tried to emulate that. I wanted reconciliation with you but circumstances would not allow it. I pray for Stacey, Brian, James, Amanda, Stephanie and their families. I sincerely wish them well. //Signed//your blood brother (advertently not listed above) Dennis Bubla, San Antonio, Texas at the U.S. Department of Defense.
