Not sure what to say?

Many thoughts and prayers, Judy, to you and your family.
Diane DeMelo

We are so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We are keeping the family in our masses and prayers. May God hold all of you in His hands. The old Fawn Drive neighbors; Gerri, Joe and Family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. During this time of loss and sadness, know that you are loved and supported by family and friends and that your father/Grandpa's love will always be with you in your hearts and memories.

Peaceful Reflections

We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Jim. Such a great man who along with Judy raised a beautiful family. He will be missed but never forgotten. I know the family will support one another at this most difficult time and am sure Jim will be looking down on you all. Unfortunately Diane and I are leaving town tomorrow and will miss the funeral, but will keep you in our prayers.

Rest in peace

Judy. I am so sorry for your loss . Jim ,you, and all of your family will be remembered in. My prayers. I´m sure he and Karen will be watching over us.

Mr. McLaughlin was always so kind to us as kids. My dad, Tom McDonough, and he were friends since childhood and I thought it was amazing that a friendship could have such staying power. I will always remember him fondly and be thankful that he kept my dad occupied with Scrabble and card games, so he couldn't get himself into trouble. :)

I hope that you, his beloved family, find comfort in your time of grief.
