Brian and Liz says
Mom, We are so sorry for you and Joe’s loss. The kids and us have great memories of going to the trailer and visiting. They loved coming there and Jim made it fun. He like to grill there as well at your house. Jim helped us with our addition on the house and wouldn’t take money, so Brian may have supplied some beer. We had fun going out with you and always there was one in the well from Jim. May Jim rest in peace and we will remember all he holidays and his cooking. I will never forget the duck he cooked, we had never had that before and he did that for Grandma. You were his rock all the years he was ill. We love you and hope you will find peace.
