Janice, Tim, Niki, & Aiden
In times of tears, remember the laughter. In times of sadness, remember the smiles. In times of loneliness, remember all you shared. Jim will be missed by many for the kindness and happiness he passed on to others. Jim, please say hello to my mom and Big Beck for me. The Lincoln Park Ladies now have another dance partner. They will keep you dancing all night long!
