in honor of James.

We only met Jim and Karel once when they came to Tucson to visit their son Jeff. He was the sweet guy. I loved how sweet he was and how he really loved my daughter Shelly. How she was accepted as one of their own when she marked Michael. So happy Jim you now can see God's face. I am so sorry for your loss Karel.
