To Tim & Family,
I again want to let all of you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although I'm deeply sadden by Jerry's passing, I wanted you to know that thinking of the times with him at both the lake and Vermont, brings fond memories. Throughout life, you have the chance to meet unique and special people, who for some reason leave an indelible mark on you. Jerry was one of those special people, and I'm grateful to have had a chance to enjoy his company.
Regards,
Jim
