My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. My favorite memory is of the "Candy Man." I enjoyed watching all the children in the ward coming up after Sacrament Meeting to get a treat from Brother Glover.

Dearest Merlene and family,
Sending our love and prayers to you. May God bless you with His peace and comfort at this time and until you meet Jim again.
I considered him a dear friend. He always greeted me with love and friendship. I will miss him in many ways. He and I would exchange quips. It was all in fun and I enjoyed being able to do it with him. I love you Merlene and hope that these next passing days will bring peace and comfort for all you have done. Love, Judi
