GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
JUDY & ROGER BAKER
Jim – we often think of our weekends on Dworshak, evenings in your hot tub when you wished we would go home so you could go to bed and all the fun times we shared. We know you have found peace in a better place, but damn we are going to miss you. Our love to you and Alice.
Alice, I am soooo very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I don’t get the paper but Lois told me last night, so I thought I’d send this, and tell you and your girls you’re in my thoughts and prayers, I know how close you two were, and I’m just sick for you. Take Care, Love, Tracie

Hello Alice,
Judy sent this on to me and I also had a call from Phyllis. Please know my prayers are with you at this time of loss; I so enjoyed all the times I had with you and Jim, the many times of laughter, great food, good friendship.
I am moving from Boise to Eugene in a couple days to be closer to family so will get you my new address once I’m settled. Would love a chance to visit with you. Take care, Love, Johnna
Jim,
It has been a real pleasure knowing you. We had such great fun at our first meeting going camping up at Dworshak
and are so glad that our son had the opportunity to meet and marry one of your beautiful daughters
and to share such a wonderful grandson.
Hoping some day if I have the privilege of joining you in heaven, that you can pre-arrange with the Lord to have a street race on the highway to heaven
We never had the privilege to meet in our younger years on this world

Love and God Bless!
