Jimmy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Louise and Jimmy were very kind and thoughtful people. They were friends with my parents,aunts and uncles in Statham, if you remember(Relle and Quilla Grizzle, Emily and Howard Colvard, Charline and Sidney Wall, Ora Lee and James Wall, and many more).

My prayers are with you and your family,

Shirlee
