Mrs Fran,
Just wanted you to know that David & I are remembering you & your family in our thoughts & prayers. It was always a blessing to see you & Mr Jim @ the Oakey Mtn Homecomings.

The fact that he took the initiative to restore Mr Hendrix Free's home meant so much to me. I have many precious memories of getting off the school bus there to take my piano lessons & also get to enjoy Mrs Annie's fresh baked Apple Pies.

I will try my best to come by & see you next time I come to Batesville to visit relatives. Love & Prayers, Dollie

I cannot believe that Jim is gone to Gloria. He was a special gentleman for the many years I knew him at AT&T and after at the every other month luncheon. I know the family will miss him but know that he is no longer in any pain and his mind is clear.
My love to the family and God Bless you.
Dorothy

Dear Fran and Family,
We were so saddened to hear about Jim’s death. My dad and mother (Jim’s Uncle CV and Aunt Doris) thought the world of him and I was privileged to have him as a first cousin.
The last time we saw Jim was at my mother’s funeral four years ago when he honored her request to be a pall beare. We really appreciated his kind gesture.
May God grant you peace during this time of grief.
Love,
Sharon and Larry
