Jim- I am so lucky to have had you in my life. It was an honor to have you as my father-in-law. You taught me to always say "I love you," even though you know the other person already knows it. It's important to say it.

I love you.

I knew him as Mike and counted him
among the people I look up to, I always enjoyed his stories and
his sense of humor, especially laughing at himself. I was blessed
to know him and offer my sympathy
to his family and friends. This was
a nice , caring and great man, may our memories of him bring us comfort.

Dear Mcdonough Family:
Words can not not express my true hurt and sadness I feel from the loss of Mr. McDonough. He was like a second father to me I will miss him very much! Being one of Jessica's friends from childhood I remember spending ALOT of time at the McDonough's place of residence and looking back I have truly learned so much from him and from the genuine love his family shares for eachother.I always loved Mr. Mcdonough's sense of humour and am proud to say one of the many things Jess taught me as a friend was how to laugh and I see where it stems from. The McDonough Jolliness (as I like to call it) still shines very brightly through Jessica's heart till this day. I pray that he will be taken great care of now that he is resting in peace. My love to the whole family and especially Jimba, Jess, and Mrs. McDonough.
Love, Jo-Jo
