My heartfelt condolences for the death of my old friend Jim. He was my first boyfriend and a presence in my life on and off for many years afterward. An interesting, talented and complicated person.
I remember Jim as a handsome, young and mellow fellow. Yes, I remember that kind of September…Before he went to Viet Nam. Jim taught me that song, and I sang it the other day and thought of him. So I decided to look him up on the net and discovered he has transitioned to the next level. My condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing, as it is to me.
