Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Jim – was adult I could trust who became a mentor who became a very dear friend. I pray God’s peace and comfort for his family. It has been said that a few words can be too many and that a great number of words can be too few. So, like many others, all I will say is, Jim, I will miss you very much.
Our deepest sympathies go to the Montgomery family on his passing. I remember Mr. Montgomery from my childhood and recall that he always had a smile and a kind word. Our family thought a lot of him.
Aunt Dorothy, I just wanted to send you my love as I know this is a very hard time and it will be a long week. We will see you on Saturday. Love, Paula
