My prayers and thoughts are with Kathy's family. Kathy was known to me as Mickey throughout grammar school and high school. We were all blessed with her wonderful sense of humor and many memories.

Joanne dear,

I was so sorry to read of your mother passing away. It is a great loss to you and your families. Prayers are with you. After Jim died, I was going through his things and found a picture a your little boy on a Christmas card. You two were such good buddies at Walgreens. He often told me how much he liked your sense of humor.I'm sure, he would be so sorry for your loss as well.

Joan Troka (Jim's mom)
