Kitty,
I so enjoyed meeting and getting to know you and Jim when we sold your Williamsville house and then moved you to your new home in Amherst. Such a gentleman Jim was! Ironically I found the paperwork for a generator (I believe was yours?) just a few weeks before I got the news of Jim's passing. Wishing I had called to check in with you at that time, I am reminded not to delay nor neglect for we shall not pass this way again. Please accept my condolences on this great loss.
