Hi Jim, One year ago today we lost you. I know you’re in disbelief as to what is happening on earth. Maybe you could talk to the Big Guy to solve a lot of our problems here on earth. Keep praying, we need all the help we can get. In the meantime, prayers will be going to you. Happy anniversary in heaven. Love to all your family and mine. Love Camille
