Dear Marge - There are no words of course, but I wanted to let you know how much my all of my family enjoyed Jim and your presence in our lives for so many years. Both Gabor and Carola passed away recently but we still speak regularly to Norma Coker (who just turned 91 this year!). All the best/Gabriel & Alex

Dear Marge. Sending thoughts and prayers and a remembrance at my Masses for Jim. I am remembering fondly our trip to Ireland when I was at St. Paul's and the nice visit to Old Silver Beach. God's peace. Fr. Al Faretra
