    WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME.

    Please try to understand. That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand. The Angel said, my place was ready. In Heaven far above. And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me. And told me “Welcome Home.” So when tomorrow starts without me. Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

    A Quote I came across. We will miss you.
    Love your little sister.
    Sheri Strandberg Muller

    I worked with Jimmy for several years at Mt. Helena Distributing and have many great memories. He was fun to be around and just a good guy. I am sure he will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to the family.

    Having a strong memory is a blessing because we recall each of our classmates just as they were so far back. Jim wasn’t a person of flamboyance but certainly a kind and caring fellow. His goodness shown through simple and genuine gestures. Each classmate is valued for their positive contribution to life itself. Simple honor is owed to Jim for his. Rest in the Lord, Jim. He will welcome you.

    Jim and my husband were best friends in high school and beyond. I have great memories of Jim and his Chevy, which we rolled and slid down a mountainside in, that we went round and round the RB Drive-In with Jim hanging out his driver’s door laughing, in. The many drive in movies we snuck into through the backfield, drinking beer and almost getting caught in Scratch Gravel Hills and the time he taught me how to ride a motorcycle and I rode it up the side of a dumpster, with Jim running behind me hollering, break, use the brake. The memories go on over the years and everyone brings a smile. JIm will be remembered for the good guy he was, and he will be missed. Lorelei Miksch

    I did not know that you were such a wild woman back then. I have such great memories of all are times together. Jim was a great friend
