Jim, My friend

Please accept our warm and sinceir condolences for the loss of your sister.  I know that it seems that what you went through at her passing was something no brother should have to go through.  I just have to know that it was comforting for Nancy to have you at her side.

Our love to you and Pat during your time of mourning, if there is anything that we can do, please don"t hesitate to ask.

Jim, I am so sorry to learn about the death of your sister, Nancy.  Having lost an older brother a few years ago, I know the profound pain that accompanies the loss of a sibling.  Please know that you, your brother and your extended families are in our most gentle thoughts and prayers.

Jim,

We are so saddened over the news of Nancy's passing.  She was a wonderful sister and a true supporter of you and your brother. We know she will always be with you in spirit and leaves you with so many fond memories.  I remember when we were talking at the reunion in Lexington a few years back, she jokingly commented to me (from our days at MMI) she remembered that "I was the skinny one".  Not any more! 

Please know that our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you.
