    You are now at PEACE with our GREAT CREATOR, and with one of my favorite Clients: MARY JO!! You are at REST with the LORD, and with “Jimmie” as well.. You always told me so much about him and the life as you started out in Circleville, Ohio. I remember talking so much about “Jimmie” and Circleville.
    My PRAYERS to ALL the GREAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. And as for me, being a teacher: YOU were definitely ONE of the really GREAT and devoted “SPECIAL PARENTS” when I helped/worked at Ida Sure Nick Amster Workshop!
    Thanks for all you did helping with the “FUN NIGHTS and Garage Sale I had for the benefit of the GREAT clients at
    NICK AMSTER WORKSHOP.
    YOU ARE MORE THAN SPECIAL TO ME!

    GOD’S DEEPEST LOVE TO YOU FOR A PEACEFUL REST with Mary Jo and Jimmie!

    I remember how I would always get you to laugh when I was also a “Jimmy” with Mary Jo.

    EVERYONE: Read Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3. and 3: 1-10

    GODS LOVE,

    JIMMY APPLEMAN
