Fil, words cannot express how heart broken we are for everyone who knew Jim. He was a wonderful man and cousin to us and we will forever be grateful for him and all he did for us.
I'm sure many have noticed but just in case your eyes don't work so well.. Fil and Jim have always had a love that transcends time and is what fairytales are written about. As a little girl I admired them and what they had. I remember every December going to sleepover the Riegler house to play with Andrew and Kristen and I would see how amazing Fil and Jim were together. How Jim looked at Fil with so much love and admiration. For Jim it was like the sun rose and fell with Fil. He was always by her side with a smile or a kiss. He walked around like he was the luckiest man in the world. I made sure I found that too thanks to those winter vacations and it breaks my heart to know that Fils other half is no longer physically with her. I hope you know Fil that he will never really be gone, that when a love is like that you carry it with you forever. One day we will all be together again and then I'll get to see your love story continue; and what a beautiful and wonderful story it is.
Love you Cuz,
Jennifer Shadwell
