Dear Judy,
My arms are wrapped around you in loving support.
Having lost my own father, I can imagine the pain ... no matter how prepared one thinks they are, the loss of a beloved parent is hard.
You and your family are in my thoughts, my prayers during this time.
I love you, Huzz.
Sincerely,
Darienne

Judy, Lee, Carlton, and David

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate the wonderful life of Uncle Jimmie. He is at peace now, and will look down on all of us and enjoy a bit of humor at our expense.

With love,

Al and Narelle

We are very sorry to learn today of Jimmy's death. He was one of the most dedicated and loyal employees to work under my supervision and I am proud to say that I worked with him for all 28 years he was at Allied. Judy, we will not be able to attend the service Saturday, but want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
