Dear Deb,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know many years have passed since our years at Genesee. Your devotion to your family was apparent many years ago. Sending healing thoughts to you and your boys.
Dear Deb and Family, I am deeply saddened to read of Jim’s passing. While it has been many years since we worked closely together in Fairport, I did think of him and you often, and always with a smile. He had a great sense of humor and was a technical expert in mechanical and plastic design. I always enjoyed being around him and will continue to keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Debbie and Family,
I wish to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your loved one.
I will always remember having you as neighbors across the street from us on Meadow Wood Drive, Fairport, NY.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
Treasure the memories~~~~
With sincere sympathy,
