Dear Lytton Family,

May God Bless you and keep you during this difficult time. I remember Jimmy from D & E Garage... we lived behind the garage and Jimmy always watched us get on and off the school bus. He was a wonderful, caring man and I will never forget his compassion and gentle nature. My father, Ralph, always thought highly of Jimmy and the Lytton family. Now they are together in heaven watching over us. Take peace in knowing he is not hurting anymore.
