It is with great sorrow that we write to you today. Jim was a favorite Uncle to our beloved Pauline. We were so happy how she was made a part of the family and how she was loved by both Jim and Bernice. We are praying for comfort for all of you at this time. Know that if we can help in any way to please let us know. Know that the Lord gets us through these times and will look after all if you trust in him and we know you do. May God bless you all at this time of loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,the family.
