James Kulla

To Peg and all the family,

Peg, Ray, Don, John, Mary, Anne, and all of your spouses and children, How sorry I am for your loss and that I was unable to be there with you all to celebrate the life of our dear Jim.

Let's hope that the sorrow we feel today can give way to comfort in knowing that he is resting in the arms of the angels and reunited...

Anne,
May you and your family find peace that Jim is finally home.
Take care and travel safe.
