I met Mr Jim when I moved to harrisonburg 10 years ago. He and I had so much in common considering we both were from DC well oxon hill Maryland. With this area being ALOT different from up North Mr Jim made me feel welcomed. Throughout the years we kept on touch through church and couple bars that I worked at. He had been on my mind lately ALOT so I knew God was in need of his angel. I really would love to attend the gathering I completely understand if the family wants just them. Please know my thought and prayers are with you, I will always remember him and celebrate him everyday. My condolences,
Evelyn Windsor
