Olmsted family,
I hadn’t seen Jimmy in over 30 years but I grieve for an old friend who has lost his brother. I grieve for the parents who were always kind, friendly and welcoming to me who have now lost their son. I lost my father in 2008 and struggle daily to accept it and find peace. I know it will be difficult to surrender to Jimmy’s cruel fate but I pray you will find peace in your journey.
With great sympathy,
