To the man of my dreams, the love of my life, my husband forever through eternity. I am so sad that our days were shortened but I can certainly say with all my heart and soul that we have had a love that many people wish they had. You called me your beautiful wife, your lovely wife, the women of your dreams, the love of your life and your future. We had the best 5 years together and I loved every moment of them. I am so proud to have been your wife and will always be. You made me so happy and fulfilled to eternity and back. I love you and miss your handsome smile, I miss your touch, I miss your warm hugs. I miss you sharing your knowledge with me on tv, news and movies. I loved the way you hugged me at night. We were seldom apart, we spent everyday together except when I went on my trip to Alaska 4/7. My heart is breaking, I'm dropping to my knees. Please pick me up and carry me my love. I don't know how to live without you,you made me so happy. I love the way you use to hold me hand and rub my leg. I love how you always told me "Baby your going to be just fine no matter what". My whole family was so thankful to have met you as you were to them. My love we will meet again one day. I love you with all my heart and soul. I just want you to take my hand and squeeze it the way you always did. I will forever miss you. I will miss you saying thank you for giving me 5 beautiful years, in our home together my Annie girl. I will never forget you and I know we will meet again one day. I love you so much my husband James D Valdez! Love, Eleanor Valdez

✝️ Jimbo! - Once again we had a great celebration for your birthday Jimmy style!, and know you had a great time with Your Family and Friends. We saw and heard your pain over the past handful of years as you encountered diseases. You fought hard to survive though one had said multiple times “I’m so done with this ….” any denial from the “Amazing” would be shameful. We saw your heroism to fight to the end with your long-lived family. I still listen to your voice recordings as we sat together in your final days, listening to you say that you didn’t want to go thru with the - nuptials - we all saw the tactics and positioning pressures you were enduring. Your family that has known, loved and supported you throughout your entire life, we take comfort knowing that you are away and free from the evils on earth. The dark shadow you mentioned that was near, we now know your meaning. We know you are resting peacefully in heaven, and we take comfort knowing God has his arms around you. And be confident Jimmy that your “TRUE LEGACY” will live on.

🕯️ Your light will always shine through those that really "got you" while you were on our earthly plain. Your friends and family that know the true meaning of family and the love that it brings. Your heart song will continue through your children and those whom you have touched be it blood relations or just people you met along your path. You are extremely missed James. Please surround Annie with your light and guidance right now in dealing with some of the aftermath of your passing. As People deal with grief in all sorts of ways and they forget that it's all about love and kindness. Thank you for the time you were in my friend Annie's life. I know you made her happy and your love for each other is one I aspire to attain someday. Forever in my heart. Gina

🕯️ I miss you so much. I have dreams about you almost every night. Thank you for teaching me strength. I've never had to use so much of it before. Thank you for always letting me feel like I could tell you anything, things I was scared to tell other people. I will miss hearing you tell me everything was going to be okay and letting me know I wasn't alone. I can't except you leaving yet, but I love you endlessly. I hope you are wandering free out in the universe. I love you Dad.

🏀 Jimmy, you loved the sports, basketball a game we always played growing up. Great times going to McNichols Arena. You carried it into Michael and Alex, showing them your moves, putting a new basketball in their hands on birthdays. Yet most of all checking up with them for their play by plays after their games. Michael finished his playoffs this weekend and though our ritual of talking to you after the game is no longer, we know you're now close with us watching!
