Oh my I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He and Jean were our neighbors for several years and I learned to love them. I have obligations for the funeral date, but know I will have Jean and family in my prayers. God bless you all.
Dear Emma Jean and family, I was so saddened to learn of Jimmy’s death. I remember well when his family moved to New Boston. It is hard to believe that has been over 60 years ago. My prayers to the family.
