GUEST BOOK



Cousin Jimmy was my fathers, sisters, (Eleanor) son. My last memory of him was when he came home from Alaska, where he was stationed and left his car in my dad's garage while he was in Viet Nam. RIP cousin.

If any of Jims siblings, my cousins. read this: Tom Denise, Maureen, Edwin, Michelle red this, please contact me.

I know it's been many many years but it might be nice just to make contact again.

Dear O'Gorman Family: Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time. Although I did not have the honor and pleasure of knowing him, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom. His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

Sharon - we were completely shocked to have read Jim's obituary in the paper. I am so sorry for your loss - We will pray for his soul. He is probably keeping St Peter laughing. Keep your faith in God. Love to you and to his children and family.
