Message: Dear Charlotte and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He put up such a fight and couldn't have gone through it without you and the rest of his family supporting him. He was so well thought of and I understand was helpful to anyone who needed some help. He will be very much missed by everyone who knew him. Our sympathy and love to you all.
