Sherry and Jinger and family, I was so sad to see that J had passed away but as we all know he “ graduated†and moved to his eternal home! I was hoping the newspaper had a misprint on the service date since it said May 7 and the paper came out May 9 ! I really wanted to be at his service and give all of you a hug . Your family has been special to me for many many years starting with a bus trip to Glorietta NM with a bunch of wild but fun church kids! And then all the visits in the pharmacy and elsewhere in town . I love you all and am praying for you as reality sets in that, for a while, you’ll have a vacancy in your life but what a joy to know we’ll see him again !
