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,

Dear Shirley, my sympathy in your loss. The name brought back a funny memory from about 1959 when we would get together for coffee and kid time in the morning. Baldwin street in Grand Rapids, MI. Vicky 'loved' our Billy and bit him most every time we got together. My how we needed those coffee gatherings!
