Margie, My deepest sympathy in the loss of Jim. You don't know me, I'm the sister of Janette, she said you were a God send to him, that I'm thankful for.

Jim was the best mail carrier in the world! He always went the extra mile to get packages to the door--and then, of course, just visit about the most interesting things. Jim and I spent much time talking about old time radio shows, New York City, and my love of the New York Yankees. His happiness, kindness, and cheerfulness was appreciated (and now greatly missed) by the postal customers of 84121-4831--along Parkridge Drive and Moore Crest Court.

Marjorie,

Jim and I are profoundly saddened by the loss of your sweet Jim. He showed us strength and courage in his last days, knowing what his outcome would be. We enjoyed coming to visit with you at your condo and at The Residence. The Friday night prior to his passing we were visiting at The Residence and he was teasing the nurses and joking like normal. The Jazz were playing and he had his comments about the team.

Jim and Jim had many conversations over the years...

We're sorry we didn't make it over to that restaurant you wanted us to try.
James says he'll miss arguing over who gets to keep the name.
