DEAR ETHLE MAY AND FAMILY; JIM WAS A GREAT PERSON .We HAD A LOT OF FUN AT CHURCH.WE WILL MISS JIM ALOT.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.GARY McDaniel AND FAMILY.
Jim was a special man who will be missed by many. I always loved to hear him tell stories of his life and the things he had done. He always had a smile for me and absolutely loved teasing all of my boys. I especially loved the time he came over to our house during a garage sale and started telling how he met his beautiful Ethel Mae. At that same time, he told me that in the early years of the marriage, they moved 13 times in a year. He actually came home one day and Ethel Mae and their belongings were moved…..he had forgotten that they were moving to another place that day and came home to the wrong house! My heart grieves for Jim’s family, but I know he is in a better place and we will all see him again one day.

Hi, Shelly,
Thank you for your comments. I can’t believe you remembered that about Jim, it was so long ago. That was very sweet of you.
Love,
Ethel Mae and family
