Re: OT KATH: Jim Colello

[Guest guest]

Hi Kath!

So good to hear from you. I  often think of our DC days at

the                                  LBD vs.

DLB Conference and our Happy Hours

at the Pub. LOL

What's happenin' in your life?

Thank you for your kind words, Jim's Memorial was last Saturday and it was

beautiful. I got a little teary eyed now and then, but even more overwhelming is

that over 60 friends, almost 70, and some of Jim's former students

included attended. Even one support group friend in the area attended and it

was

so special to see her.

I would love to hear from you Kath, hope all is well with you and your family.

The hardest part is yet to come, and that is now I must focus on me and get my

life back in order. My goal is to find a full time job, clean-up and move out of

the house by Summer and relocate into a much smaller, low maintenance, condo,

aptmnt., senior living place. Not sure where I'll end up, but something with

reasonable rent, so I can afford to travel and play and do things I have been

missing out on for years. There is a void in my life right now, but I know I can

get through this with a little self-endurance and all the encouragement I am

getting from friends.

Please keep in touch.

Love and Hugs,

Jan

That was a wonderful obituary.  It truly shows by the many messages how special

Jim was, and just like him, how special Jan is.  Thank you for sharing this

with

us.
