Jim and Dee's love will always be felt.  Always the gentleman, Jim's strength and poise touched so many people and helped us all to become the very best we can be.  With a mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes, Dee embraced everyone she met with her laugh & smile. They would be proud for us to continue encouraging and embracing each other just as they have done for us all these years.
