To Dana and Greta
My heart breaks for you and the rest of the Copeland family. Jim was very dear to me. He helped me, or I would like to think, we helped each other when my mother (Shirley) passed. I am forever thankful he came into her life as well as mine. He was a father figure to me, though he insisted he would never claim me! Lol I found that hard exterior was all a facade as he was kind, gentle and had a heart of gold. The two of you were his pride and joy and I’m so very sorry for your loss….
My heart goes out to everyone
My condolences to you both and to your families. He was so proud of you girls and loved you so much. He will be greatly missed.
