Dear Carol, Greg, and family:
Very recently I came across this beautiful photo of Aunt Meg with Jim and Greg. It was taken on Dec. 28, 1994 while they were visiting at my parent's home in West Boylston. I'm sure I have more photos of happy times, which I'll privately share with you in the near future.

Love,
Cousin Beverly

Dear cousin Jimmy,
I´ll always remember the great times we had. You always made us laugh so hard, especially when you did "Dragnet´s Pismo Beach!" I´ll never forget those special and fun times in Lowell. They will forever be etched in my heart.
Love, Helen

Sorry to read about Jim's passing. I used to see him if I drove by your house. I moved out of Chelmsford 17 years ago. I always stopped and talked to him if he was outside.

Dear Cousins Greg, Carol & Family:

I was very shocked and saddened to read Jim's online obituary earlier today. Though we didn't see each other as often in the last few years, we'd always have an easy, enjoyable sharing whenever we would speak. Over the last few months, Jim kept coming into my mind with a sense of urgency to contact him. So, I tried to reach him in mid-Dec. 2021. When I learned he wasn't well, I held him in my thoughts with fondness and sent him peace and comfort. We are now left with the many family memories of all the good times we had. May Jimmy rest in peace. We will meet again.

With love and deepest condolences at this difficult time,

Cousin Beverly
