Laura, my most deepest sympathies
on the death of your Dad. I am so sorry also I did not know about your Mom. My dear, dear Girl Scout family-tears for you

I worked with Jim at Sears at Virginia Center Commons. He was such a kind, patient, knowledgeable man. He knew that hardware department so well and treated everyone with respect.

So sorry for loss of Jim, father, grandfather and friend. It's never easy but the joy is in knowing he's with Jesus and Marge. You are in my prayers.
