Letter from Lori Kelly-Bailey

Movie Role Was a Dream Come True

Broken hearted about Jim’s passing. His bucket list wish was to act in a movie. He got his wish. My last note to him a few weeks back was to remind him of the quote from “The Wizard of Oz”: “Your heart is not judged by how much YOU love, but by how much you are loved by others.”
