Mathias Schwarz
We are heartbroken that Jim has passed away and now leaves an empty place in the lives of all those who loved, liked and needed him. My wife Astrid and I were able to meet Jim when he spent a week with Darlene in Germany in august 2013. We had a crazy and wonderful week and Jim's great sense of humor always made us laugh and smile. We had very deep conversations about life, family, the ins and outs of the differences in our culture, even laughing at street signs together. It was also a great inspiration for us to hear how much Darlene and Jim enjoyed dancing, attending concerts and theater, and enjoying life together. The fact that he made Darlene so happy in the process is something we will never forget. Unfortunately, our places and circumstances were such that we never made it to a return visit. We are very sorry for that, but it cannot be changed now.
Dear Jim is gone from us forever and our love and thoughts are with Darlene.
In loving memory
Mathias and Astrid with Tabea and Simon
