Dear Uncle Jim, you may not remember me, but you were at Brian and Ann's place on Lower Base Line many times shooting and enjoying my parents companionship. I remember you bringing your beautiful wife to our place after you met her, and then to your wedding. It sounds like you two had a wonderful life and were blessed with a daughter. I wish you peace in the loving memories of your Irene. Do take care, Toni Chambers
