Uncle Jimmy, it's hard to believe its been 6 years since your passing. Funny how time goes on without the ones we love. I miss you so much and the good times we had when we came up to visit you and Mom in Vermont. Now Mom is with you and you're both together with the heavenly father and the rest of the family. I think of you often & have you in my prayers every night. Love and Miss you always, Your Niece, Pam Sullivan

So sorry for your loss... there has been way too many in our family this past year. Bart Chamberlain and I (Estelle Chamberlain) had lunch with Jimmy at the Milton Diner shortly before Bart passed on May 5, 2013. I will always remember Jim's quick smile and tight hugs. Rest in Peace.
