In Loving Memory of Jim
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jim, my grandmother Sara Blanck’s companion. Jim’s visits to Florida with Grandma brought so much joy into our lives. Whether we were playing cards, dining out, or simply enjoying each other’s company during our trips to Pennsylvania, Jim’s warmth and kindness always shone through.
He will be greatly missed, and our cherished memories of him will remain in our hearts forever.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Sara Russo
