Dear Jim, Marion and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of one so dear to all of you. I remember the many times that little Jackie ran up and down the hill to the lake for a swim, always with a grin on his face. I am grateful that I had a chance to share some fun times with Jackie and his family at Arcadia. So many happy memories.
