Dear Pat, Larry, Linda & Sarah,
Please accept my condolences in the loss of Jim. He played a very big part in the fabric of Rives with his service on the fire department and as a bus driver for the school. We never saw him without his infectious smile and laughter in his eyes. I hope these will be the memories you will hold during this time of sorrow.
