Dear Jim, Colette and Girls
So sorry to hear of Your Dad and grandfathers passing. You have made wonderful memories with him the last few years camping and boating up in Maine. I am sure he was very happy to be able to spend time with his girls. Reflect often on these memories and smile as he is smiling down on all of you.
