Dear Rita and Family, I am saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jack Coughlin just notified me of your loss. I have not been able to locate Jimmy or any of my cousins or members of the Dunn family for many years. I am Jimmy's cousin Rosemary. His father was my father Arthurs brother. I will keep you and all of the Dunn family in my prayers. Please contact me at [email protected] God Bless all of you and keep you strong.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Jimmy. It has been many years since we have been in contact. We have so many good memories that go back to Somerville & Marlboro. We will keep the Dunn family in our prayers that the Lord will give peace and strength through this difficult time.

With Love & Deepest Sympathy;

Dad, I Love you and Miss you more than you will ever realize. We were never the type that showed our love for each other on a daily basis but the love we had for our family and for each other is so very strong. It hurts to know that I will no longer hear you say Hi over the phone to me and my usual response of "Shutup Bozo" that we did every time Mom and I talked, like 3-4 times a day. It was our thing and I will miss it. The only thing that makes any of this bearable is knowing that you no longer hurt and are right now doing one of two things you loved, Playing cards with Uncle Paul and the gang out by the pool (in between hands yelling at us kids) or having a cold one with Nana, Bobby, Jimmy and John. Know that you are in my heart and thoughts today, tomorrow and forever. I LOVE YOU DAD.

Dear Auntie, Jacqueline, Linda and Tracy, I believe that Uncle Jimmy is in a better place now where there is no pain and no suffering. Everything happens for a reason and I have to thank him for all he has done for me in my life, and even now in his death he continues to shower me with gifts. Bringing AnnaMarie and Jackie back into my life with the opportunity to get to know them again is all due to him. Thank you Uncle Jimmy. I have and will always love him and all of you. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and don't ever forget you have family...Love Robin
