Jim was an amazing man. I enjoyed talking with him. His mom, (Aunt Sylvia) was my grandmas best friend. Jim and I shared stories of PJ, the residents, town and Aunt Sylvia.
God bless you and may He remind you of all the wonderful memories you have.
I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was an amazing man.
We spent time talking about our lives, and PJ, the town itself, residence, and the fact that his mom was my grandma’s best friend. We loved aunt Sylvia, as we called her, and in turn had a love for Jim.
God bless you and may He remind you of all the wonderful memories you have with Jim.
prayers go out to the family on such a loss
