Harriet, Sue, John, your family has blessed my life more than you know. So sad Jimmy is gone from us here on earth but I know he is heaven cutting grass already. God bless you and may He give you strength and comfort during your time of sorrow. ♥️

Harriet and Sue I am so sorry to hear about Jim. I’m sure he will be missed. As part of the old song …my heavenly home is bright and fair…” . I won’t be able to make it to either the viewing or the funeral. I have many great memories of Eckmansville and you all. Love, sympathy and prayers

My family joins me in sending our sympathy to Jim's family. He helped us so much over many many years by driving ambulance trips and helping on funerals for Grandpa Bill, for John T. and for our sons. Ironic that he passed so soon after John T. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim's siblings. Sincerely, Elaine Lafferty
