Dear Shirley & Family,
I was truly sadden to hear about Jim's passing. Jeff told me yesterday. I remember all the times Jim would come over and say to my mom, "Sissy do you have a recipe for mushrooms or whatever he wanted to experiment with!" His smile was infectious. My life is richer having known Jim and your entire family. May his memory be eternal.

Dear Tammy & family,
I was so very sorry to read of your Dad's passing. He always had a smile and a wave! I saw him more when you lived on Hilbert, but would run into your Dad when he took your Mom shopping at Redner's! We would catch up on the parking lot!!!
Please share my sympathy to your Mom.
