We would like to express our sympathy in your loss of Jim. We have many fond memories of our De Young family gatherings. It's amazing how he spent so much time researching our family tree. In his 45 years working for Blodgett Hospital he touched many lives.
With love and prayers,
The Clarence and Jennie(De Young) Pasma family.
