Jim, you were really blessed in your life and in your marriage to Gloria. I am truly sorry for your loss and really enjoyed meeting you and Gloria at your store. I had come in just before your store closing and purchased my daughter's graduation ring and took Gloria's advise and gotten myself a beautiful saffire diamond ring. They are even more sentimental to us now. You two were a very special couple and I was really happy to see you finally retire. May God Bless you and your family. sincerely, gail
