Dearest Kathy and Tsoukalas Family,I know from how you spoke about Jim that his death is a deep loss for you all and all of those that knew him. I strive to live a life with my family as loving as yours is together. Even though Jim is gone, know that love continues to surround you. Live each day with his spirit in your hearts and he will always be with you. Jim was a wonderful husband and loving father - there is no greater privilege to have witnessed these truths in your lives. May he rest in peace and may his family find peace in these days and months ahead.

I did not know Jim personally but have become very close to Kathy over the past 2-3 years and feel I know him and their children through Kathy's eyes and caring words. Every time she spoke of Jim and the kids, she lit up and the love and closeness they all shared as a family, couple and friends was very evident. I'm so happy they were able to add to their 20 years together, the recent memories of their trip home to Greece this past year. My deepest sympathies and heart felt prayers go out to them all during this time.
