I remember starring at the incredible ships in the cases that Uncle Jimmy had modeled. Painting the family room in Webster. I remember hitting the string harp that was on the door of the garage and all the love you felt in the house. I still have Lynette's pattern dog that she made for Christmas one year. Love your Nephew, Lorne Fordham 585-739-3481

I remember many a summer with you and Uncle Jimmy. Lynette and I spent a great deal of time together. Uncle Jimmy and you were the strong hold of the Fordham Family. I hope that you can see from the heavens above, that the devotion you had for each other and the family bond you instilled in each of our lives shines down hear on earth. You both are loved and will be missed dearly. Love your Niece, Lori

I remember Christmas most, Uncle Jimmy dressing as Santa ringing the jingle bell out side and Aunt Helen baking cookies in her kitchen. We all, the seven of Charles L. Fordham were always welcome. Thank you Aunt Helen.
God bless you and keep you in his care.
your niece,
Cindy Modzel (Fordham)
