Dear John and Cheri, Happy to think of your dear dad, our Uncle Jim, being in Heaven with Aunt Helen and with Mom and Dad and many others who knew and loved him. But sad to think of your heavy loss. We were blessed to have had great fathers.

We so appreciated getting to know Jim and Helen and fellowshiping with both. We are happy to think of them being together again with their precious Lord.
