Ellen, I was very sad and surprised to learn of Jim's passing and send you my sincere sympathy. From years past at the UofA, Jim and I were friends and then I would see you and Jim when we sat behind you for those LR Razorback games. Very sorry, wishing you and your family
all the best.
all the best.

Ellen,
I'm saddened to hear of Jim's passing. It seemed like yesterday that I saw you both at a Humane Society fundraiser. He was a well respected, well-liked, and kindest broker at Prudential. I met Matt, a few years ago at a golf tournament, noticing his dad's features. I never put it together that Jim was his father. Sending you and your family thoughts, deepest sympathies, and prayers of comfort, strength, and peace today, tomorrow, and the coming weeks. May God bless your family with beautiful memories.

Sorry to hear about Jim. He was a high school
classmate and friend. The last time I talked to him was at one of our mutual friends and classmates memorial service. He was a good guy.
May he rest in peace.

When we are so sorry to hear the news of Jim's passing. I know this has been a long and painful journey for you and Jim although he wasn't as aware of it as you were. I visited my brother a few weeks ago and he didn't have a clue who I was. Please if there is anything we can do please let us know..
We are thinking and praying for you and Jim's family. He'll be waiting in Heaven for you with a perfect body and mind.
Love,
Dale and Phyllis

Jimmy was a fraternity brother, roommate, and my best friend at Lambda Chi Alpha at UA. My birth brother and I used to spend lots of time at the Coffield house in Stuttgart during Christmas, Spring Break, etc. Mr and Mrs Coffield were almost like our parents, even though we lived in Osceola (180 miles away). Unfortunately, graduation sent us in different geographical directions--me to the eastern fourth of the country, and Jim in LR. That said, I will always remember Jimmy fondly. We had long talks as roommates, and provided counsel to each other. I am so sad to learn of his passing. May the grace of God provide comfort as only he can. Our prayers will be with you in this difficult time. My best to you both.
