1944-2021
My husband, my partner, my co-parent, and my best friend has left us.
He has been released from the pain that diminished his last few years.
Thankfully, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by love.
I want to remember him in all his vitality, alive, smiling, energetic, giving and loving.
I am so grateful for the almost 60 years we shared our lives as a team.
Treasured memories wherever I look--our bed he fashioned, his lovely pictures, the creative things he made to make our house a home; brightly lit spaces and cozy (he would say cluttered) rooms surround me. The garden he loved to tend. In our love, our history, our memories of times with family, of sunny days and mountaintops; of VW camper trips, of perfect powder on a blue bird day, or seeing our children, Matt and Mari, become parents themselves and sharing their children with us.
Please remember Jim well in your thoughts and honor him by extending kindness to others and smiling at every little child's face you see.
Sharing stories and your memories of Jim would mean so very much to us.
There will be no formal funeral for Jim. Rather there will be several small celebrations of his life, including the scattering of his ashes at places special to Jim.
