Dear Mom Courtney,

Thankyou for everything you have done for me. All those years you let me live at your home, I can't express enough gratitude. You played a vital role in my life.I first met you when I was 7 years old. I remember saturday was always the "workday" to do various jobs around the house. I like to think the work ethic I have now, you instilled in me. I have so many fond memories of you and you will always be in my heart.



Love, Jim

Kevin & Family,



I was very sorry to hear about your Mom. It's been a very long time since I have seen her, but what I do remember of her was that, she opened her heart & home up to my Brother Jimmy, she was a very special woman, and will not be forgotten.

Our thoughts & prayers to you & your family.

My Deepest Sympathy,

Sandy
