Jalusa

Postby mariane » Mon Dec 26, 2016 8:30 pm

With profound sadness I have to inform you about passing of Jalusa (Jim) on December 23th. We were both MSKCC patients. Jim came to see me when I received my first surgery in NY. We stayed in touch since that time. Jim supported me during my numerous surgeries. He was amazing friend, very sensitive and caring.
2 months ago Jim moved under hospice care. He sent me a message that he was looking forward to meet his Savior at that time. He spent this Christmas with Him.

Oh Damn. Jim was so kind and supportive to me when I first arrived, scared for my DH. He gave me tips about MSKCC. I was so sad for him when his progress was not positive. Thank you for the update Mariane. I had been wondering and praying for him. I am sure his soul is soaring, but he will be missed.
