Jim(mer), I will never forget you. You called me Shortie and tough for a little woman. But I know my heart was a big as yours. We were blessed with a special bond. We were the greatest of friends and I will cherish our times together. You often told me how happy you were at the IRA, that you had a home filled with warmth and friends. You loved Day Hab in Massena. You were a valuable volunteer in our community and thrived on feeling proud of yourself. But my most fond memory of you was on the day I retired. You took your hands and covered mine while the tears rolled down your face. You thanked me for allowing you to make your own decisions. I will carry that forever. Fly high my Friend, until we meet again.
