Doris and family, Mary and I want to express our sympathy to you on your loss of a wonderful husband and father. I have so many wonderful memories of riding on the bus in grade school in Roland, Iowa. I was so glad that we found each other after 50 years. He had said that he was hoping to come to Iowa for our 50 year class reunion from Roland next year. He will have a reunion in heaven with the other classmates who have passed away from our class. We will continue to pray for you. From Jim's grade school classmate and friend, Steve Hanson
