Condolences
I was very sorry to hear about Bub...I was a friend to Roger and bub long ago. Miss seeing these boys...I sure wish I could again...
Timmy and Janet I was so very stunned to hear about Jimm. I did not hear about his death until Monday March 28th. I wish I would have known I would have been there for you. He was such a good friend and listener. I will miss him terribly. I will be praying for both of you that God will help you deal with his loss. I know Gracie will miss him since she was the light of life. Janet/Timmy please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or if you just want to talk. I would be happy to help. I am so saddened by the news. Please take care of yourselves. You know Jimm, he would find humor in this in some way.
