God be with you Audrey! My deepest sympathies!
Such great sorrow at the news. We pray for everyone’s comfort.
My sincere Condolences to the Puff family. I have known and worked with Jim for 6 years in property management. We met in 2010 at R.E.I.T Homes. He was always so helpful in making everyone happy and content. We spoke recently and over the years about his struggle with bone cancer and how it affected his quality of life. No matter what, Jim found solutions and savings with the maintenance requests I asked of him. Jim had a witty sense of humor and every phone call ended with laughter. I will miss Jim and his beautiful personality. Until we meet again Jim. Susan
My dear son Jimmy. I am going to miss you terribly and when I have those sad days and I will I will try to think of all the fun times we had and the funny things you did that maybe weren't funny at the time. Like testing your sister's patience by getting an inch away from her and saying "I'm not touching you,so often until she smacked you and then you would yell for me and say Lorelee hit me. There are many such memories that we laugh at now but then were annoying. Your wonderful dry sense of humor like Grandpa Sass and his walk and you were such a tease. You were a very thoughtful son and I love you so very much and will carry you in my heart until we meet again in heaven. Your loving Mother.
Jim. Our time together was too short. You were not just my brother in law but my best friend! We had some great times together and I loved your stories you would tell, especially the bunny story, cha, ching! I wish that we had more time together, I'm really going to miss you brother!!
