To the family,
I'm sorry to hear about your dad, I know he will be greatly missed by everyone. I know we haven't kept in touch over the years but life sometimes takes us down different paths although we always end up in the same place, with Jesus.
I know he had many great years with all of you and the grand kids grew up with a wonderful grandfather. Our prayers and condolences go out to the entire family.

To the Skinner Family,
It was my honor and privilege to get to know Jim at Country Meadows. He was friendly and kind to others, whether residents or staff. I looked forward to the time my job allowed me to spend with him. We always managed to chat about all manner of things. He was an knowledgeable and interesting resident. He will be missed. He was proud of his family and loved you all very much.
I am so sorry for your loss.
