Dear Joyce and Family, I wish to also share briefly with you about how he blessed my life!! I can say that Jim was an encouragement for me when I shared similar illness back in 1998. It was a crisp fall day when he met me on the river walk at St. Boniface Hosp. and helped me regain my self confidence. For that, I know the Love of God was shared with me on that day!!! May you find peace at this time, and may Jim be in peace also, also may we share fellowship with him again one day. With Love, Dan - Posted by: Dan Riedner (Acquaintance) on: Feb 27, 2005

Dear Joyce, Ian and Kelly, We are so sorry to now share in your loss. We are so sorry that we were not there to be with you, had we have known, we would have definately been there. I have no words, only condolescences. Only sadness shares this message. A verse has given me deeper strength and may this bless you also. Micah 7:8 Do not gloat over me my enemy, though I have fallen, I will rise again, though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my Light!! With our Love, Prayers Today and Always, Dan Riedner, On behalf of the Riedner Family - Posted by: Dan Riedner (Acquaintance) on: Feb 27, 2005
