Johnny, I enjoyed working with your grandson exploring the life and times of our grandfather, Thomas James. You should be very proud of John, whose ancestral inquiries, provided so many insights. Miss you, John, Mike Lavin, Coronado, Ca.

Johnny, we had such a wonderful and memorable visits with Granny Lavin, back in the early 50s. You taught me how to dance to rock and roll music and used those moves for decades. You have a great family. Mike Lavin

Hi Patty, I am sorry to hear of the death of your husband. I did not know him, but he must have been a wise man, as he married you. I will remember him in my prayers and look forward to meeting him in heaven.

Pat, I am so sorry for your loss. Joe passed away last Christmas and I had so hoped we could touch base with you before that. It has been so long. . .
