Dear Jimmy and family:
We remember all the hours in your Dad's store, browsing the wallpaper books. He and your Mom made it fun to decorate a home and were so helpful in our many final choices. Our hearts go out to you and your family for all the sadness you have gone through in the past couple of years. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My husband and I send our sympathy to the O' Toole family. We knew your parents from the store on the East Side.They were a great couple who shared many good stories about raising a big family. We were grateful for your father's thoughtfulness when our son died in 2005. God bless all of you.

To Jim & Family,
I never met your father, but I know that he raised a nice guy and a gentleman in you. That tells me something about your dad. I met your sons and they are carrying on in the same manner. Your Dad is proud.
