To Jimmy's family from your California cousins

We had the chance to see Jimmy in Florida with Aunt Mary and talked to him on the phone both in Florida and New York. Also got to talk to Peggy Anne before she passed away and enjoyed their visit to California and of course Mary's big family party in Westchester. It must have been a great greeting that Peggy Anne gave him. They are happy together again. I know his family is very proud of the two of them. We were at the 7 AM Mass for him (10 AM Eastern Time) this morning for him.

He will be missed.

I will never forget how Mr. Gahan always took the time to mentor me and how I should always get everything to the "front of the Spot book".

He was a very rare breed and I only wish there were more like him in the world today.
