You don't know me, I work out of the Miami office. I just wanted to relay how sorry I am for your loss. It's at times like these that you question God's
plan and purpose, but may I offer you a word of encouragement. He loves you! Cling to Him during this difficult time and His peace which passes all understanding will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. We may never gain understanding why He allowed this, but if you will trust Him through it, He won't let you down. I will be praying for your family. God bless you!

Ted and Chris,
I apologize for conveying such a personal message in such an impersonal manner. If it were possible I would be there to give you each a warm hug, the kind of comfort that you two wonderful people always are giving others. If only it were that simple to ease the heartbreak of Jimmy's passing.
You are now dealing with every parent's worst fear - I can only imagine what your life is like right now. I don't presume to have any words of wisdom, but I do want to express my deepest sympathy to you and your children.
I don't know why such unspeakable things happen to such loving families but I am sure the two of you will one day find a way to make positive things arise from your grief.
Jimmy dwells now in a different, better place. But he is still part of your family and he will live on in the many memories you all have of him.
Your family is very much in my thoughts.
with love,
Jana

My name is David Harrison and I visited you around 1999-00. Along with Spencer Oltmann and Jess Means, I shared a quad at Ohio University with your son. I cannot begin to express my condolences for your loss. Jim was probably the best friend I ever had, and he was a great brother to both Patrick and Jeremy. Believe me, the grieving process sucks - I know it all too well. I only know that Jim died, not how he died. We had a PACT that after Spencer's death we would NEVER kill ourselves, and I hope to God that Jim kept our pact. I am sorry to be so graphic, but your son was a good guy and even though I last spoke to him when he was in Seattle, I had faith he would do well. He loved you all very much, and (believe me) we all felt as if we knew you!. I was googling my old friends' names when I learned that Jim had died - it is a terrible loss - I know because I lost my mother to cancer last year and my father to suicide 20 days after Spencer offed himself. I don't mean to trouble your, just want to let you know that I identify with your loss. Please contact me if you want to remember "Jim" together. Again, I cannot adequately express my condolences for your loss - Jim was a cool guy and I am sure he's smiling somewhere. So Ted and Christine, know that I am thinking of your son and that I hope he is happy now. I hope that I can call you sometime and answer any questions you have, my # is 248-894-5896 and my email is DHarrison80@msn.com
Take Care,
David Harrison

I am still deeply saddened and troubled by Jim's death. I swear; If he didn't do it himself, I'd kill him for killing himself! We had a pact and he broke it. I really hope he thought about what his suicide would do to his family and friends. _Fuck You_ Jim.
