Dear Sally, Will, and Alex - We were so shocked and sad to learn of Jim's sudden passing. We will miss seeing him at Trinity. He always had a smile and a word to share. Sally, we're truly grateful for the times we shared with you and Jim as we watched our children growing up together, and we'll always have those memories. Please let us know if there's anything we can do. A Hug for you all from The Hamers--Fritz, Jane, Anna and Madeleine
