Karen and family, I am just so very sorry to hear of Jim's death. He was such a help to me and always a wave and a smile and some chit chat, when I would go by. Yes, he loved that grass mowing! Always looked beautiful and kept all just perfectly. I certainly will miss seeing him. My love to all of you and Karen, I know how much you will miss him. Love Mary Lou Haudenshield

Bob and I are very grateful to have meet BJ. He was such a fun person. We won’t forget Mary’s birthday sitting around the table by the pool speaking with him and others for a few hours. Spending time with BJ and everyone at Tommy’s birthday party at Craig’s and Jane’s house. We will miss him very much.
