Dear Laura, Lisa, Judy, and Joyce,

I was shocked to see Jim's name in the Tribune. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I called my brothers and sisters to let them know. My mom says hello and sends her condolences. Hope you find strength in family and friends during this very difficult time. Love Annie and family

Laura, Lisa, Joyce, Judy

I am very much saddened hearing about Jim. My mother read the OB. this morning and called me right away. As Joyce and Judy know Jim and I were close friends from five until high school when we went off to different school.

I don't know what took Jim at such an early age but I know he is now with his mom, dad and sister in heaven. My mom and Father Tom, Fay along with all the Baldonieri's wish prayers and comfort to your whole family during these hard times grieving the loss of a great husband, father and good friend.
