Valerie and I had just started writing to each other after many years, and I was going to see her when she was planning to visit Pam this summer in San Antonio. I was very shocked and saddened. I will always treasure the memories of the times our families would get together in Denver. We had many fun times at Grandma's house and family reunions and just playing together as kids. Love, Jim "Jimmy Jay" Cain
