Dear Jan and family,
So proud of Jim, he took that leap of faith. All is in perfect harmony. So glad he will rest in a National Cemetery. I will keep in touch with Jim through prayers every Sunday! Blessing to him and all of you as well. Want to share one of my photos of Jim from his "Rose" days in Savannah! Love, Mary & Bill Lavan
