Dear Shirley:

We enjoyed Jim during the years he was at Onset. I remember working side-by-side with a paint brush in hand on Friday workdays. The years have changed many things for us all, but you can enjoy the good years together and we hope our thoughts comfort you at this time.

Sincerely,

Scott and Laura Fisher
