Auntie Mary, Billy, Christine,and Patty.As you well know Uncle Jim was a very loved second father in our lives. He did so much with all of us when he was single before he had all of you enter his life. May God Bless you in knowing that he is not suffering anymore, that he is with Nana and Grandpa, and that one day you will all be together again. I love all of you and will miss my uncle as you will miss your husband and dad. He was a wonderful man and made such a difference in so many lives in our families. Love Colleen
