Dear Josephine and family; I am sadden by the passing of my old and dear friend Jimmy; for over 40 years I was friends with him and his two daughters Dolores and Mary as well with Florence. I spent many hours in their home laughing, playing cards, swimming in their pool, and going on short trips. I also shared in the passing of Florence; and in time, as there when Jimmy came to know and fall in love and marry Josephine. It was great to see him smiling again. A wonderful family, great friends, and I am thankful for the memories. Thank You! Judy Decker, Seymour, Ct.
