Dear Kasey, Lou and Philip: We send to you our most sincere sadness on the loss of your husband and Dad. I have many fond memories of Jim growing up, high school, his wedding and keeping in touch daily on the computer. May his memories always be with you. Please take comfort in knowing that he has gone on to even greater glory.
