    Cathy and family please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Jim. When Isabel called me to tell me of his illness and then his passing, I have reflected on the many times we spent together at the cottage. We did have some good times with you, Cathy, and Jim, Isabel and Murray and their kids and Barry and I. I will always remember them with great fondness. Jim has left such a legacy in the family you have both created in your children and grandchildren and you can hold dear to the comfort you may draw on one another. I will miss him so much even though the distances have kept us apart. I truly know and understand what you are going through at this difficult time. All my love.
