Dear Kathy and Family,

Ray and I were so shocked to learn of Jim's untimely passing. We have known you, Jim and the children for over 25 years and it was indeed a pleasure to have such moral, reputable friends. Both of you worked so closely together raising the 3 children and we all got such laughs out of your 3 and our Mary as they grew up and played together. Jim was so proud of his children and his "Little Lily". You will always be one of our very closest and favorite friends. Our thoughts are with you daily and we hope you will keep in touch.



With much love,



Ray & Linda McVay & Mary Nichole

There is no way to explain the feelings and emotions that we experience when faced with a such a lose.

The best we can do is to let our faith be our strength and guide us through day by day.

Jim was a kind and caring soul and I feel fortunate that our paths crossed.

We extend our condolences to the Kinney family as well as keeping them in our prayers.

Our daughter's 6th grade class honored Jim in their Special Intentions prayers at St Michael's.
