Dearest Marianne & Boys - I will never forget the fun times had by both our families when we were young camping. I will always remember Jim's big laugh and his big heart. Marianne I know both my parents were so happy to have seen Jim last week, you were just kids when you all started hanging out together and your wonderful friendship has continued through the years. You were both lucky to have each other! I know you will find comfort in all of your wonderful memories of this very special husband and father.
Love to you all - Becki (Snyder)Goulet
