Dianna, my name is Linda March. My husband Gary and Jim were good friends. You may know that Gary passed away 9 years ago.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jim. I had just tried calling the cell number that I had for him to let him know about the wife of a mutual friend from their class at Wyandotte High School.
I would very much like to visit with you about Jim sometime if you would too. I'm sorry I missed the celebration of his life. Not sure how to best give my contact information here, but you could reach me at [email protected]. Sincerely, Lyn
