Joanie, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how much your daddy meant to you. Sending prayers for comfort, my friend.
I take solace in a life well lived during this difficult time. Jim was fun to be around, his smile and laughter was infectious. How fortunate I am to have known him all my life. As a young girl, he taught me how to water ski. What a thrill it was to go boating with Jim. Thank you Carla and Joanie for taking such good care of him. I’m thinking of you both. Much love and sympathy, Linda Stevens
