James Randall Sylvester

Daddy, Soon it will be 2 years since you left this earth. I miss you. All the time. The tears don't flow as much when time goes on, but my heart will always have a chunk missing. I miss you telling me how proud you were of me. Your smile and laugh. I am taking a care aide course to help and care for others, as I have done for you. I hope that warms your heart daddy. I love you!! - Your Daughter

The first year has gone pasted, I miss you like you left yesterday. But your girl is strong Daddy! I will keep my promises and make a good life for myself! <3 Thank you for watching out for us, bringing us blessings and signs that you are around! <3

I did not know Jim that long but I did know him as a kind gentle person. Our enjoyment of the outdoors was our common bond. Life carries with it joys and burdens. My faith in Jesus Christ anchors me during the storms until the sun breaks through; from hopelessness to hopeful.

Your Celebration of Life was so perfect daddy! We all love you very much!

Dear Brother in Law, You never be forgotten Jim . Happy to be part of your Life. Glad you were part of mine. The butterfly I am not what I was yesterday, God knows my name. I am made in a smooth and beautiful way, And full of flame. The color of corn are my pretty wings, My flower is blue. I kiss its topmost pearl, it swings And I swing too. I dance above the tawny grass In the sunny air, So tantalized to have to pass Love everywhere O Earth, O Sky, you are mine to roam In liberty. I am the soul and I have no home, Take care of me. For double I drift through a double world Of spirit and sense; I and my symbol together whirled From who knows whence? There ’s a tiny weed, God knows what good,— It sits in the moss. Its wings are heavy and spotted with blood Across and across. I sometimes settle a moment there, And I am so sweet, That what it lacks of the glad and fair I fill complete. The little white moon was once like me; But her wings are one. Or perhaps they closëd together be As she swings in the sun. When the clovers close their three green wings Just as I do, I creep to the primrose heart of things, And close mine, too. And then wide opens the candid night, Serene and intense; For she has, instead of love and light, God’s confidence. And I watch that other butterfly, The one-winged moon, Till, drunk with sweets in which I lie, I dream and swoon. And then when I to three days grow, I find out pain. For swift there comes an ache,—I know That I am twain. And nevermore can I be one In liberty. O Earth, O Sky, your use in done, Take care of me. No more pain, <3 with much love Debbie

Rest in PEACE. Jim I knew you 4 years and had some good laughs

Condolences to the family. My husband and I knew Jim since highschool. He always had a smile when we would see him having his coffee at Tim's. Rest in Peace Jim!

It was with sadness to find out that a good friend from my school days has passed. I remember how one of your favorite movies from back then was Billy Jack. Mine also. Every time I watch it I think back to those days. Rest easy buddy, you and your family are in my prayers. God bless

Our Hearts are heavy for Amanda, Aaron & Family and Sandra. Jim - Thank you for everything you ever done for us, We know we told you in person, but don't think you realized how much everything you did meant. No more suffering, No more pain, Rest Easy Jim.

I served as a groomsman at Sandra's and Jim's wedding. i remember Jim as a person whom despite health hardships, always had a grace about him as he maintained a positive outlook on life. I remember his time with my family as he was attending SIAST in Moose Jaw and his introduction of SPAM into our diet. His stay with us was short as he missed Sandra too much. He is in good hands now. RIP

Our condolences to Jim's family. They welcomed me to the Kidney Foundation almost 20 years ago. A lovely family and friends always. RIP dear Jim. Iris

My thought and prayers are with you all.

Jim and my husband Chris (who passed away last year) met Jim on dialysis. They enjoyed each other’s company and teasing the nurses together. Jim, Sandra and Amanda became dear friends of ours. Jim was easy to talk to and had a great sense of humour. I will never forget his stories about ‘the hole’, the foods that went through it, and the gum plug. We had so many laughs about that. He was a sweet man who endured too much. Miss you Jim.

Rest in peace my sweet brother, you will be missed, and always be remembered for your kind loving heart and beautiful spirit. Making people laugh was your gift to us...whom ever was blessed to be in your presence. Love you forever brother!

Uncle Jimmy-Bob, I will never forget your laughter, your kind heart and your caring nature. You have had a great impact on my view of life. I am truly blessed to have known you and I will never forget you.

My condolences to James Sylvester family Amanda, Aaron n Sandra ❤

I love that I got 3 years of taking care of such a sweet man. His smile lit up mine. I felt and seen all the pain he has endured over his lifetime and now we get to let him Rest in Peace. I love you dad! Always!

I will miss your crazy sense of humor, your laugh and your smile. I will never forget everything that you have done for me.
