JoAnne, Cathy, Sue, Jim,
I want to let you all know how truly sorry I am for your loss. Someone once said to me “It does not get better, but you do get through” and I have found that to be so true after losing my dad last year. I hope you each find peace and comfort in knowing Jim is no longer in pain. You are all in my thoughts as you face life without your husband/father. Love to all. Leah

We are sending our deepest condolence to our favorit “son in law” Jason and his brother Randy and their mother Sue.
We have understood that grandfather James also filled the role as a caring father for the small brothers. Mr Polsgrove was in other words a grandfather that most children only could wish for.
Mrs Polsgrove, Sue, Jason and Randy, please accept our warmest sympathy.
Yours,
Carl-Gunnar & Bodil Runebjörk in Sweden
