Katie, Dan & Tim,

I am grateful that I got to know Jim over the years. Jim had a good heart. He was always willing to help us in any way he could. If it meant driving us to the airport or helping with an emergency such as plugged up gutters, we could always count on Jim. He treated Margie and I as well as our kids with compassion and care. I know I will miss Jim dearly.
Katie, may God hold you and your kids in the palm of his hand. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May you know God's love and kindness. We love you.
Sincerely,
Jack & Margie Love

Katie, Dan, and Timmy-

You know we will always miss Dooey. He was always there for our kids. Every school day he would greet my kids at the door and let them in, picking them up from school whenever they were sick. He welcomed kids over all day, every day. He had many sleepovers. He is watching over you and is with you even now. We are here too and will get you guys through this difficult time. We love you.

Love,
Dave, Mo, John, Matthew, and Katie aka (Twerp)
