Thinking of you Jimmy and Lynn and the rest of the family.
I am sorry about your loss.
Jimmy, all the McGees love you and always have. I am so sorry to hear this about John. I remember the day he was born. Lynn, it feels as if I’ve known you forever, and loved you just as long. Praying for your family.
I feel the same way Beverly. Thanks for thinking about us and for the prayers!
You have been good friends for a lifetime! Thank you for that blessing.
