To the McClacherty's, I am so sad to hear of Jim's passing. Last we spoke, I told him thank you for the fun & happy times when we got to stay at his house in the summer. I will miss my Uncle Albert.

Margery and your family, I want to express my deepest sympathy. I know Jim had lots of problems with his health but he always seemed to have a few minutes to visit. Margery, you take care of yourself now. Just remember the good memories when you feel sad.
