   Star and family,

   Jim was the best! He was my very first boss at the original Carriere’s Floral and what an impact those years were for me. The Carriere’s all had such a love for business and they were amazing entrepreneurs before being one was a “cool” thing. I learned a lot about what it took to run a business successfully. I learned to love flowers, helping customers, being bone tired after a big holiday and yet still how to laugh and laugh at the end of the day. The brothers were a team and showed all of us in the “backroom” how to work as a team. I do not know how they decided their roles in the business but it seemed to flow seamlessly.

   Jim was a caring boss, understood how to take unfocused teenagers as employees and turn them into good employees. He had a big heart, a beautiful sense of humor, we all know how much he loved Star and his kids. I bet there will be a big hoopla when all the brothers are back together.

   May God be present 24/7 as you meet sadness and the feelings of emptiness without him. He is near, he cared too much to be never far away from you.

   Love and Blessings,
   Kathy Christianson Grundei
