Nancy, Nikki and Kelly and families,

So sorry to hear. I have many fond memories of car shows years ago, when we were all together in the Dells. The days were long, and kids were young. May you find the comfort of family and friends, and much peace and understanding in the days ahead.

Dearest Nancy,
Our hearts go out to you Kelly, Nicki and the rest of your family.
It's hard to put into words how sorry we are for you!!
We had many good times together and were the best friends that could be for each other. Always regretted that our moving from the area made continual pleasant contacts and relationships more difficult. But what times we did have together were most treasured and valuable....Purple Grapevine, snowmobiling, E.J.'s River Run, Kate's Mom's Crandon cottage and on and on!
Please remember that because of you guys WE became closer to GOD and our faith continued to grow!
Our thoughts and prayers for peace and strength through Jesus Christ during this rough time are with you.
R.I.P. James Robert ("Sky Hawk")

Nancy, Nikki and Kelly,

So sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was always very kind to Scott and I. I was just on the bay a few days ago and was telling friends and family how he taught Scott and I to ski.

Know you are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Take care,
