May he always surround you and may the breeze that kisses your cheek remind you of his love. Sincerely, Charlotte (Char)”
“Rose and family, Sorry for the lost of Jim. What a wonderful man he was. I remember one word of advice he gave, as he helped me travel to Roslyn, Va. many years ago. Don’t carry a pocket book at the bus stops, take a lunch box instead. People don’t want your lunch, (I might) but they may want your purse! That was Jim, putting things in perspective. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Debbie. “
