My wonderful friend Jim, I don't even know how to express my loss or even where to begin. You were more than a friend to me - you were a father. You lways looked out for mw, where I was, what and how I was doing. I'II always remember that big bright smile on your face each time I saw you and your arms wide open ready to give me a huge hug. Each time I stayed away for too long without showing up at the Sauve house or took too long to make a phone call, you always showed concern and bombarded me with messeges until I showed up. I knew I'd never stay out of your reach for too long. If only you knew how that felt to know that there was always someone looking out for me. Whatever problems I had - even personal ones, you were there to listen. Kathleen and I always laugh at the memories of you trying to solve one of my funny n' mischievious troubles with a Calculator. Whenever I think of that and make other funny incidences, that smile of yours and your jokes - I always smile back. My last memories of you are of the fabulous summer weekend we spent together with you,Nancy, Kathy, Phil and Asha at the lake. Thanks for taking us for that ride on the lake. What a weekend we had and I had no idea it would be the last. Jim, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do either because no matter what, you're forever gone from us and nothing will bring you back. It is a fact that we will no longer be able to have your physical presence with us. But it warms my heart to go over those memeories, especially that they are the only ones am left with now. Jim wherever you are right now. I want to let you know that you'II always be in our hearts and thanks for the beautiful memories. We'II always carry this story in our heart, about you and the difference you made in our lives in accademic circles as well as outside. And I know that there's nothing we could've done to repay you for the person that you were and that peace of mind that you provided to some of us. But am sure the almighty's repaying you. I thank God for having blessed us with you for the time that we were together here on earth. May your beautiful soul rest in peace till we meet. I'II always love you, Readith Mwila Muliyunda.
