I am truly sorry your friend Jim won't be walking with you. I can't imagine how emotional that time will be for you. Sending kind thoughts and lots of love your way.
I have participated in the Relay for Life here since my mother came here to live in 2000. I always shed a tear or two when the survivors get their special lap. Never would I have imagined being in that group. I have also purchased luminaries as David says for close friends and families who pass that year. It is so sad that every year for a while now I have had someone close succumb to cancer.
