ODear Barbara and family,
I am sorry to read of your beloved Jims passing and extend to each of you my sincere condolences.
Barbara, please remember all good things, happy times, and remember our wonderful get togethers, talking the town, sharing stories, our buying and selling. It was perfect.
Surely Jim is up in the heavens, and at peace.
And I send Peace and Love to each of you
