Dear Lee and family,
We are very sad for your loss. Many good memories come back to us of
the good times that we had together as we started out our young married lives. It has been a blessing to all of us that the Lord gave us some extra time to share with the ones we love. We will remember Jim in our prayers.
Our condolences to all of you, Ray & Sue Rudynski
