Dear Thomas Family,

I am sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We were very fond of him and Ginny and visited with them often at Kellart Lake.

My daughter Erica had been thinking of the lake lately and I was going to call Jim and say hello and chat about our White Sox.

My family sends its best wishes and regards and will keep Jim and Ginny in our memories.

Jim, My wife, Carol, and I wish to express our deepest condolences on the passing of your father.

As life would have it, a dear friend of the family passed away just Tuesday, and we will be with the family tonight, so we won't be able to be with you, but our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jan, and your family.
