Jen, Jimbo, and Bobby, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your dad and mom were wonderful people with big hearts. They help me so many times when you guys were my neighbors. I know that they are in a great place together. It's going to be hard, but try to keep your head up, and remember they are in a good place now together.

To the Nichols family: Words can not express how I feel at this moment thou I wish they could. Your father and brother will be missed buy so very many people who have had the pleasure of knowing him. He was one who could bring laughter and happiness to others with such ease. From childhood he was one who made friends easily through his caricter and that simple Jim Nichols ability to make you laugh. Thou he and I had not seen one another for years, I will always remember my friend. I know the lord is smiling and laughing now, and your father and brother is in his care. Gob bless each of you.
To My friend Jim:
Time has gone so fast. Life has taken all of us on different journeys. Every time I came home to Swissvale I saw you and we would talk of the old Harvard days. I find myself thinking of those very days as I write. Thank you for all the great times we had roaming the streets all night, sleeping on your grams porch, for all the memories of Friday nights at The Coop, and last buy never least, for being my friend. Goodbye is not fitting, so inplace I will say, rest well Jim for I am sure we will meet again. Gob Bless you.

Jen, Jim, and Bob, words cannot express my condolances for the three of you. Remember all the good times you shared with both of your parents. I grew up with your dad and you know how close I was with your mom. I still hear her say "hey mare" when I think of her. You are all family to me. We all had some really great times! Keep the memories strong and the love will always be there. God Bless and keep all of you. MaryAnne
