    Chris, Jamie, Ernestine, and other family members. I am saddened to hear of Jim’s Passing. I know that no one ever truly is prepared for the loss of a close family member. Jim lived life on his own terms, and I believe he left the same way. I want you all to know that you are all in my prayers, and I hope you are all able to find peace, strength, and comfort during this time of loss. . .

    God Bless You all.

    Larry
