Dear Elsie, Cindy, Trudy, Karen & family;
We are so deeply sorry for the loss of a great man – our Uncle Jim!
We are so glad you stayed overnight with us this summer, Elsie, and shared dinner and the evening with us – that is a special memory. Miles separate us, but not our family connections and our memories. He has left behind a beautiful legacy – your wonderful family! May you feel comfort and strength in God’s love during this difficult time. Hugs to all!

Goodbye Grampie, We all miss you very much but we are thankful for the memories and time we all shared with you. Don’t worry, Daisy will be coming to visit you soon!
I’ll see you again someday in heaven because I know the Lord is taking great care of you. PS. Try not to give God to much hassle in the mean time, he might not have the same sense of humor as us.
