1 Condolence
Jan & family,
We were so sorry to learn of Jim’s passing. You are the sweetest couple – we lived next door to you guys on Jaynes. Jan, Jackie always loved picking flowers off of those wonderful lilac bushes you had in your back yard. Miss you and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Jim.
