I am so very sorry for your loss. Jim was a kind, and loving man, and it was evident by how he was with all of you, and how he made me feel when I was around him. When I think of him I'll always see his smiling face.
May your sorrow heal over time and God Bless each and everyone of you, and know that we were blessed to have had him in our lives.
Love,
Diane, Rosco & Vince Doro
