Dear Randy,Even though Ross and I are here in Erie, we are thinking of you and your family. I know you will miss your Dad, but you know he is watching out for you and probably already fishing the best trout streams in Heaven. Can you imagine those Rainbows?? Love and Prayers to you and your family,Sharon Erie, PA US
My sympathy to all the family. My grandfather was Roy Meador – a brother to Jim's grandfather. My memories are of Doc and Amy coming to visit out on the farm west of Maroa where I lived. I was raised on that place and after I was married we lived there for 44 years. We moved to Clinton in December last year. My mother was Pearl {Meador} Braden – daughter of Roy Meador. My name is Ruth Ann {Braden} Wilson. I'm not sure I ever met Jim. But I do recall that just a day or so before our daughter was killed while riding her horse, Doc and Amy came to visit us. I believe I saw Amy at the grocery store with a son or daughter. Did she go into a nursing home? I had an aunt at Lincoln Manor and I'm thinking I may have seen her there.I am so sorry you had to lose Jim at such a young age and you certainly have our sympathy. We are thinking of you. Ruth Ann Clinton, IL US
Dear Susan, I don't know if you'll remember me, but I worked for Dr. DevlescHoward. I've thought of you and your husband so many times and was so sorry when I saw that he had passed away. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Janet Hall Decatur, IL US
Dear Susan and family,I share the feelings that you have with your loss, as I have had a similar experience myself. Nothing will replace your pain, but I hope you take comfort in the fact that Jim has gained his dignity back again. Our relationship was mostly a business one, but getting to know Jim was a very positive and enjoyable time for me. He made a positive impact on me and helped me beyond what he ever knew. I will be forever greatful. My heart goes out to all of you.God Bless.Wayne Longwill Decatur, IL US
