Aunt Doris,
We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Jim death. He was not only my Godfather but a special uncle to me that I have lots of wonderful memories of. He was one of the most giving people I have ever known. My dad,(Bill) always had funny stories about Uncle Jim and their crazy times and fun at the VVV.
Always he'd have kind words to say about him.
I love you and my heart goes out to you during this time of sorrow and just know that our prayers are with you!
