Dear Julie, Tricia & Kyle,
I was so sorry to hear about Jim's death - and even more sorry not to be able to attend his visitation or funeral to give my condolences & remembrances in person. Jim was a one-of-a-kind man - he had his demons, but don't we all in some form or another. I have only fond memories of Jim - he was always genuinely glad to see Todd and me. Often the times we were w/Jim - were usually a sporting/school event which meant we were with the boys. Kyle - will always hold a special place in all of our hearts - those were 'good times' that make me smile. I hope you all are finding Peace. May God's love guard your hearts. With fondness,
Vicki

Dear Julie, Kyle, Trish, and family,
Please accept my sincere condolances on Jim's death. I am broken hearted for you all and wish I could be there to extend my sympathy in person. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as is Jim. I have many happy memories of seeing Jim at Roseman or Heller family gatherings over the years. And he and you, Julie, were always so welcoming when Mom and Dad stopped by. They both enjoyed Jim immensely. I know that Barbara, Brian, Dee, Pat, and Aunt Catherine join me extending heartfelt condolances from the entire Sweeney family.
