I had the pleasure of knowing Jim when I was the Property Manager at Woodland. I enjoyed when he would stop by the office and sit and chat with me.

I know how much he was loved by family and everyone he touched.

My heart goes out to Jim's family and Geri at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May you find peace, comfort and support.

With heartfelt condolences,

The Bernardo's
