Jim, Bill & Donna as well as the rest of the family I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your dad, brother and son. I know what a difficult time this is for the whole family. Although we haven't seen each other in many years I had talked to Kathy just before her passing, which shocked me as well. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can be of any help please email me at [email protected]
