Dear Felicia and Family,

I just spoke to Fran today and she told me that Jim passed last week.
I wish we had known sooner, but want you to know that our hearts and prayers are with you and your family.
Jim was a kind and caring person and will always be remembered.

Dear Felica and Family,

Sandy and I are so sorry to hear about Jimmy. I know that you and Jim had a couple of hard years, but we're sure he's in a much better place now.

Although we haven't had much contact in our adult years, I do have fond memories of us (Jimmy, Wally, my brother Bill and myself) growing up, visiting the Martin's in Wisconsin, and helping or at least keeping out of the way while the uncles and Grandpa built the homes on Oketa Avenue.

I'm sorry we won't be with you, but be assured that Jim and his family will be in our prayers.
