Dear Cousins,
I was so glad I was able to make the funeral. What a beautiful ceremony and well deserving send off for Uncle Jim. He will be missed. Treasure the memories you have and the great photos we looked at. What a living legend he was. Truely blessed for his service to our country. May he rest in peace.
With much love
Doreen, Doug, Jenna, Robert, and Alyssa
