To Margaret and the family-
My prayers are with you... Jim was quite a guy and I will miss him. He had the ability to always make me laugh out loud before the end of a conversation...

I can't think of the Lane with out thinking of all the good times we had as kids playing in your yard... German spotlight, kick the can & the all time best shaving cream fights... sorely missed, never forgotten...
Love, Tommy and Jenny Healy and family
