Dear Jim Pulliman Family,

I am Dale Sage's sister, Kristi Sage-Murawski. When we were growing up, I remember Jim always having an outgoing, funloving attitude and I envied his relationship he had with his parents. Never did I hear a negative word about anyone. I admit, being the younger sister of my brother's good friend, I had a crush on him. I send my condolences to all and pray for God to bring strength and comfort you at this very difficult time. Sincerely, Kristi Sage-Murawski

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. It has been an unbelievable number of years since I worked with JoAnn and she left our small company to move to Hayfork with her husband. But the 4 or 5 years we worked together showed me how important her children were to her and John. May your memories bring you comfort.

My sincere condolences to the Pulliam family. I last saw Jimmy at my grandfather's funeral (Tm "Pete" Flanagan.) It was great to catch up with him then, on all the years that had passed since we moved north in 1976. I'm saddend by the loss.
