    Anna, Carole, Judy & Kathy I am so sorry to hear about Jim. Please know that you and the extended family are in my prayers. I have such wonderful memories spending time at your home growing up. Your Mom & Dad could not have been sweeter the way they treated Karen and I when ever we popped over to your house. Please know that your dad will be greatly missed but never forgotten. He has left an indelible mark on my heart with the memories we shared. I too share in the memory of going up North with your family and it was a time I will remember always!! My deepest condolences. XXOO Nancy (Foley) Appell
