Jim, I don't know you personally, I wish I did, but those that do are the luckiest people alive. As I read this post, many times, I can only wish I had at least an one ounce of your determination. Your knowledge and wisdom will forever be embedded in my heart and sole.   Every thing will work out as life goes on. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife from the west coast. Stay strong. Your distant friend, Brett (Lonely Sawer)

Hi Jim, I was catching up on what is happening. It seems like it will work out, not always the way you want, but when you roll with it, things can happen.
Keep at it, and all the best to you and your wife

  Received word yesterday that probably Tuesday next week my wife will be moved to an intensive care facility until  there is room in another place which would cost less than this one at $5000.00 per month so I just hope the property sells in the not too distant future.

  With all the support, encouragement, prayers, strength and help I receive here from all the wonderful fellows in the group and from other friends it does make it much easier to continue on for which I Thank You All for, I know that support is so critical at times like these and is needed for which I am so grateful for. I too feel it will work out OK so I Do Not Worry about it. As they say this is not my first rodeo.

Remember Jim, support is a two way street.  One can offer it, but it has to be received and when it is received, it also strengthens the giver.  Love is a very tight bond.

My prayer is that you will continue to seek out and find the best solution for you and your Wife.  You continue to inspire us with you determination.

Yes sir, inspiration maybe an understatement.  Wish you all the best right now and you both have our thoughts and prayers as always, if the time was ever to come I hope I'll be as strong for my wife as you are now.

He may have sold the house. Between that, moving their stuff, keeping up with his wife and taking care of himself, he may be too busy to check in. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Jim and his wife. Keep them both in your prayers.

He was indeed an inspiration to all who knew him, even from a distance through the Forestry Forum.

He made the most of what he had right to the end!

So sad to hear Jim has passed,  I was hoping and praying he would
put up another post. 

any chance we could package up this thread somehow
and send it to his family?? Perhaps through the Funeral home?

Any thoughts ??
