I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying the God of all comfort help you during this difficult time. (2Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus told us to pray for God’s Kingdom because it will soon end tears pain and death. (Revelation 21:3-5 & Daniel 2:44).
I am one of the owners of the Windsor Rose Tea Room in Mount Dora, FL. I was looking to re-connect with Jim because I had been battling cancer, and then COVID. When we first met in the Tea Room we discovered that we were distant cousins and he called me “cousin” because my maiden name is Middleton and we were both related to a signer of the Declaration of Independence. I was planning a trip through Jacksonville in the next few months and was going to look in on you two. I called the phone number I had and it was disconnected. If you do get this message please get in touch with me via email or my cell phone (407) 756-8713. I’m devastated to find out he is gone before I had the chance to catch up with him. I share your loss, Norma! What a sad way to find out. We shared his birthday a couple of years together after is father had passed and we had such a good time. I am very sad and sorry.
