Dearest Margie and Family,

Our hearts are deeply saddened at the loss of our dear friend and mentor, Jimmy. His contagious smile and laughter always lit up the room when he entered. Both he and you are the definition of true Ambassadors who reached out to Ken and I from the onset. Mostly, he was a true Ambassador for his family and the Lord.
We will miss him more than you know.
Love and prayers,
Maureen and Ken Soens
