Dear Dolan's,
Please accept the sympathy of our family. Jimmy was so great to our Dad for years while working at the track and we always loved visiting the Dolan's with our Mom, Nonie. All this time seems like yesterday...
With prayers, Sheila O'Brien

Joan - I'm so sorry to hear about Jim (Pat Rhoads called me). Just wanted to let you know you are in our prayers. I'll always remember Jim as the happy, friendly neighbor who would do anything in the world for you. In spite of all his efforts I never did become a very good golfer. I know you will miss him so much. We love you, Juanita and family.

Dear Joan and Family,
I have had the privilege of becoming friends with both of you through the OASIS Center for Music. Your love and devotion to each other has been an inspiration to me.
We will certainly miss Jim's quick wit and great sense of humor in Mary Lou's classes.
My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family during this time of loss.
Sincerely,
Loretto Corrigan O"Brien
