I send my deepest symphony to the entire families of Jim. I have always felt like they were a part of my family people for so many many years. I live in Columbus now, but just know I love all of you and will say prayers for all of you. I have known all of you from even teaching the young girls ballet where I met Shirley. That sure goes back pretty far and that is why I truly miss all of you and know your entire family is a wonderful family that I was so lucky to be a part in all of your lives for so many years. Miss you all . Love Suzanne Farelli
