So sorry to hear of cousin Jimmy's passing. So glad that we were able to reconnect with him and that Linda was able to share time with you a few years ago. She was able to tell me all about your visit and how you all had a great time remembering younger days and finding out what has happened to the rest of our family! Prayers, thoughts and hugs to all.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Jim was always good for a joke and a laugh. We enjoyed seeing him come in the office. Barb, our thoughts are with you during this very tough time.
