I miss my Uncle Jim so much. He always made me smile or laugh. He had a wonderful sense of humor, even throughout his long illness, he still had a way to put a smile on my face. He, my Uncle Dave and Aunt Nancy always had a way of making my family and I feel welcomed and loved in their homes. I miss them all so much!
