I had the pleasure of working for Jim and Carol for several years. In that time I discovered what an amazing, wonderful and kind person that she was. She will be terribly missed by all who knew her.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
