To my friends Nancy and Marty, I am so very sorry for the passing of your dad. I know he meant a lot to you. I will be sending prayers your way for peace of mind, and knowledge that he is with his loved ones.
Your neighbor, Judy
I grew up w/ Jim living “over the hill” from our (Lutz) family farm. Some really good times as his dad and mine often shared farm equipment and advice. Jim was a very personable, outgoing friend to all of us. I am sorry that he has passed.
