To Mary and Children. I´m so sorry to read of Jim´s death. I lived across the street on Rosehill when the kids were small. Jim was always friendly and you were good neighbors. My husband passed away when we lived there. May your special memories help you through this difficult time. RIP Jim. Karen Droessler
