Dear Rita and Family, I am saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jack Coughlin just notified me of your loss. I have not been able to locate Jimmy or any of my cousins or members of the Dunn family for many years. I am Jimmy's cousin Rosemary. His father was my father Arthurs brother. I will keep you and all of the Dunn family in my prayers. Please contact me at [email protected] God Bless all of you and keep you strong.

Dad, I Love you and Miss you more than you will ever realize. We were never the type that showed our love for each other on a daily basis but the love we had for our family and for each other is so very strong. It hurts to know that I will no longer hear you say Hi over the phone to me and my usual response of "Shutup Bozo" that we did every time Mom and I talked, like 3-4 times a day. It was our thing and I will miss it. The only thing that makes any of this bearable is knowing that you no...

Dear Auntie, Jacqueline, Linda and Tracy, I believe that Uncle Jimmy is in a better place now where there is no pain and no suffering. Everything happens for a reason and I have to thank him for all he has done for me in my life, and even now in his death he continues to shower me with gifts. Bringing AnnaMarie and Jackie back into my life with the opportunity to get to know them again is all due to him. Thank you Uncle Jimmy. I have and will always love him and all of you. Please know...

Dear Auntie Rita and Cousins,
I was so very sorry to hear of Uncle Jimmy's passing. It hurt me that I couldn't be there for you as I am in Alabama. Like cousins Annamarie and Jackie, I think fondly of all the great times we all spent together growing up. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Roy Mace
