View all 60 ReflectionsJim, how has it been so many years? Mitch is now a daddy you would be so proud of him. We didn’t get to have the life we planned but the life we had while you were here was amazing. The motorcycle rides and the plans for the house were great memories and of course the nights we had. Love you then, love you now, and I always will. Say hello to your mom and dad for me to. Xoxo
