god give me strength
I am so sorry for your loss...and for the losses his family has dealt with recently.
You take care of yourself in any way you can because you are the most important. I know it's hard for us women to feel and think that way but it's true...especially right now because you have so much going on.
HUGS!
Dearest Lisa,
My heart goes out to you and to Jim's family. I am so sad for you. It is never easy to lose such a close friend. Take some comfort that even though he may have physically left you, he will remain alive in your heart forever. And I know he will be watching over you when you are in Colombia. I'm sending an extra-big hug to you and hope that you know how much we all love you here at the OH April messageboard.

i really appreciate your messages. each and every one of you.
you all have reminded me that this is now MY time and that i MUST take care of myself. i have been just sick since saturday and i only got on the computer to print out some pictures of jim for his sister. but i found so many messages from all of you that i just had to post to let you know that i am okay. jim was on his way to south carolina when he had the accident and with the autopsy and the preparation for him to be flown back to florida, the funeral is not until the day before i leave for Colombia. and since it's a 6 hour drive for me, one way, to his hometown - i've decided that i'm not going to be able to be therel. there is no possible way i can make it there and back and be at the airport the next morning. and however upsetting it is for me not to be there, i know his family will understand. i will just have to have my own little special memorial that day myself for him on the beach where we both enjoyed spending time.
words cannot express how touched i am by all of your messages.
i love you guys.
