I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Jess. My dollar bill guy. One of my favorite visits with him and Aunt Nancy in OH and seeing them in happy days of retirement. I am so glad they are together again. So many fond memories when they lived in kendall park and Hightstown. Forever in my heart ❤️

So sorry for your family’s loss. I’m not sure of the lines, it may have been through Nancy, that we would see them one to two times a year at my grandmothers (Anne Matsh) in Peckville. Maybe as a cousin to my mother Elizabeth(Bette) Marsh-Armbrust-Kulp. We always enjoyed seeing Nancy and Jess!
