I remember the day I met you and Brook. You were riding around in Jenkins looking for a house that was for sale. You found it and purchased it and have lived there until your death. Knowing you since that day has been a great friendship. I know Brook will be lost without you.
You were such good neighbors. We missed you when you moved and we still miss you. It helps knowing Jimmy is in the arms of our heavenly Father.
I enjoyed visiting with Jim when I saw him around our neighborhood, he will be missed.
Many wonderful memories of Brooks and Jimmy, our neighbors for many years. May God comfort you and give you peace in this time of sorrow. Love in Christ.
