Jim, I'm sorry to hear this. Focus on the good memories with family, friends and those wonderful times that you simply shared a cup of coffee together.

Jim, Rosanne and I send our heartfelt condolences.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
