Susie and family, my condolences are coming all the way from Sahuratia, Arizona. I'm sorry for your loss and I will always remember Jim at the Motors and when we all went on that cruise------those were good times. When I would return to visit I always thought of the two of you when I passed your house. I have finally settled and hopefully retired here in Sahuarita. Be thankful for your family and take care. Helen
