May 29, 2022
Our family is absolutely heartbroken to have lost both our beloved sister and brother. Though our age and health mayve hindered visits, we so cherish the wonderful memories and regret we could not have made more. Strangely enough, I've yearned to visit with "Jimmy" and couldn't wait for him to tower over me with his big ol hug.....and did I mention how good his coffee was? We are completely in mourning with the passing of Jimmy and "dear" Mona. Our hearts yearn for the day we will not be limited by illness, miles or lives too busy to make precious, precious memories. Love, Nancy
