    Annie, we want to extend our condolences to you in the passing of Jim. We never had the opportunity to visit with you much over the years, but always thought of you when visiting mother at Rocky Creek. She was thankful you lived close and knew she could depend upon Jim if needed. We shared nephews, making a bond between us. Take care.
