I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I missed the anouncement in the paper and didn't know until I was talking to David today. I am so glad I was able to see the both of you at Gary's memorial last fall. Just think of the stories those two are telling right now. Take care of yourself and remember all the good times

To Amy and her family: I am very sorry to hear about your loss of your loved one. I know in times like these, it is best to reflect on all the good memories and keep remembering the good times as time moves on. Keep your head held high; I believe that's what all Dad's want us to do when we face tough times. Take care. You'll be in my thoughts!!
XOXO,
Missi
