To the Jansen family-

We are SO sorry to hear about Jim's passing. When Helen lived at Laus, Jim was our favorite that came to visit with. He was such a devoted husband to her. We always enjoyed his happy, smiley, kind personality who loved his sweets if we had them when he visited! We hope you take comfort in knowing he is now reunited with Helen in a better place. Prayers to all of you!

So sorry to learn of the passing of one of our most loved neighbors, Jimmy. I'm going to miss our occasional end of the day conversations on your farm in the city. A wonderful and hard working man until the end. Bless you buddy.
