Not sure what to say?

Dear Jim,
Here's a voice from the past. So sorry to read about Jane. She was a fun person; we had some memorable times together. From 12/18 for two weeks, I was in the hospital, so we missed the funeral. Linda and my sympathy.

My deepest condolences to Jim and the family on Jane's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Jane at Wyoming Public Schools. She was smart and wickedly funny. My husband and I also enjoyed sailingJim and Jane took us out on their boat before we both bought bigger sailboats. We sometimes ran into one another while cruising Lake Michigan. What a great pair! Again, my deepest sympathies on your loss.

Jane was always a joy to be around when we were a part of "A"dock for the years we spent there. There was never a dull moment with her around and when we sailed with her and Jim. She loved to bury the rail in the water. She will always be remembered in our hearts. Rest in peace Jane

The passing of a Mother is heart wrenching. I am so sorry for your loss Jill. I pray you feel the comfort of Christ's arms around you.
