I was so sorry to read this and it was so long ago. I heard today one of Terry’s boys has died. We have fallen away from our friendship which is a sorry shame. Jim was a really good man but heaven gained a really good angel.

My sincere condolences not only on Jim passing away but terry and Tammy losing a son. I have the same phone number if they wish to call me.
