Jim,
I stumbled upon this and realized it was your mom. It's been a heck of a lot of years since I last saw you. It's gotta be tough dealing with this loss particularly in a holiday season. I hope and pray your're doing ok.
Best Regards, Mike Bohlmann

For the family of Mary,
My husband and I did bingo the third Thursdy of each month at St. Francis and Mary was the first person we seen when we walked in. We really enjoyed talking to her. She was a very nice person and she loved her angels. I know sheis walking with them in Heaven right now.If I only got one angel for bingo for someone to win I would put it aside to give her whenshe won. That made her really happy. She will be missed by all of us. God Bless the whole family and our prayers are with ya'll.
