To Vera, children and grandchildren. Was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. You don't know me, but I have heard lots about you from my older sister, Sarah Carroll. She always kept us informed about the time they lived in Florida and all my Dad's (Rudolph Carroll)family there. My dad was Uncle Ernest's youngest brother. Please know my prayers and sympathies are with the whole family.
