Dear Marge,
We have just now heard about the passing of our cousin, Jim. Tom notified us and we are surely sorry for your loss. We have such fond memories of growing up with Jim, Barbie and Tommy at Beaver Lake and Hughesville, PA. I am close in age to Jim and we used to fish, ride our bikes and hike a lot. Since moving to Coudersport, we lost contact over the years. Jim was a good guy and I am happy that you both got to enjoy so many years married together. Death, although very hard and sad, can bring on a pouring of love and good memories to keep forever. Bless you and your family. Please stay well. I send this message to you from me, Linda, and my sister, Emily.
In Love Always,
Linda Shaffer Beazley, age 72 and Emily Shaffer Bassler, age 77

Dear Marge,
I'm so sorry for the loss of one of the sweetest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I loved waiting on you two at the Crittenden. You two were the epitomy of people in love and I always thought that was very special. I am a better person for knowing the both of you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Marge and family. I am saddened to hear about Jim. We were just texting recently and looking forward to meeting after this quarantine was over. I always enjoyed the time we spent together at Tenneco/El Paso before my retirement. I hope you will find some comfort from his friends even though we cannot meet with you during this time of sorrow.
Thinking of you.
