Not sure what to say?

Dear Shirley
So sorry to hear about JR. It was a pleasure to have him as a neighbor. Charlie enjoyed their Monday golf games. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family

One of my favorites, we will miss him!

I have so many memories of Jim with my Dad and the way those 2 interacted. They were like an "Old Married Couple" I was able to spend some time with him this summer and I will cherish those memories forever. Prayers continue to the entire Thurkettle family as you navigate your new normal.
Much Love,
Brent VanZandbergen

Vicky 'loved' our Billy and bit him most every time we got together. My how we needed those coffee gatherings!
