Jim,
My deepest thoughts are with you and your family, and I so regret when last in Richmond I didn't go by a see your mother. Kathy (MacCabe) called me about your mom and we will talk again as I am in Mississippi (temporarily I hope). Suffice it to say we were blessed to have the best of families and a special closeness from the day I was first introduced to you at Bon Air Presbyterian (at 5 or 6 years old!)"Jim is here to join us from Arkansas". Lots of memories where your father and mother are concerned -- in and around Crestwood Farms and Mt. Bella Drive. From my family, and Kathy's, a special loving and warmest memory of your mother and father. Please include Linda (Mary) in our prayers.

Our blessings to the family,

Jim Nolting (brothers and Joel and Kara), and
Kathy MacCabe (sister Edie, our son Joel)

Jim and Linda,
You may not remember me, but I remember you and your parents from the Bon Air Presbyterina Church. I am Jane Totty. Nancy Totty's sister, and the Noltings next door neighbor from Jahnke Road.

Your Father and my Dad served as Deacons and Elders in the Church many years ago. TO this day I can recall your Mother's warm smile and tender way of caring for everyone.

My thougths and prayers are with you and your families at this time.

Sincerely,
Jane T. Collier
