I am so sorry to hear about Jim. We are never really ready or prepared when we loose someone we love so much. God in his infinite wisdom decided Jim had suffered enough. He is no longer in pain and is at long last rest. It will be a long hard road ahead so lean on your family and friends to help you both through this. I will keep you both in my prayers and hope as each day will get easier.

To the Belczak Family,
James was such a sweet heart he always had a big smile and great attitude when he came to the pharmacy. He knew my family from the "old concrete days" as he put it. He will be missed greatly I know. It was a pleasure to know him as brief as it was. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
