Dear Diane, Marlo , Kent and family, I was so sorry to see of Jim's death. I have so many beautiful memories of your family at Abrams. Jim was always so kind and thoughtful and a wonderful father. I am retired now and cherish my memories of all those wonderful Kindergarten children I spent time with. My time with your family was precious. Marlo and Kent you were both amazing. I hope your memories of our dad and husband keep him alive in your hearts. Love to all of you. Sue Pagel, Abrams Kindergarten
