James Shepherd

Rest in peace Jim. I hopened you are at peace.

So sorry for your loss Maynard, R I P Jim

Hello. I want to reach out my support and sympathy to Jim's family, I regret not being able to make it to the visitation this evening. First, I supported Jim in his journey of recovery. I was his caseworker who helped with housing and employment and also worked at Rave (Recovery Avenue), a place Jim liked to visit. Jim battled addiction but had much to hope for; he had friends at Rave who cared about him. The last conversation I had with Jim was about a job lead working outside at a nursery, his face lit up with that possibility. We are looking to have a memorial service up here in La Crosse, if anyone would like to attend. We don't have the best pictures of him, perhaps someone wouldn't mind sharing a photo too? In any case, if you want to reach me: Aaron Rasch, Independent Living Resources, 608-787-1111 aaron.rasch@ilresources.org. Peace and all good....
