Jim was my big brother and although he could be a pain in the butt I loved him with all my heart.we rode 4wheelers together and he spent alot of time at our house.he will be missed.love you big brother
“Riley” was a friend and customer of ours at Roselynn’s and had been around the heating business for many years before that. He was always pleasant and friendly and appreciated anything you did for him. He will be missed. I’m glad he got to travel to be with his family at the end, that was very important to him and he had been planning to get there for a long time. RIP Riley, you will be missed.
