Dear Jim,

Hello to all of Jim's family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Jim I wish I could call you up and say hello. I'm glad for the brief talk nineteen years ago, and you were there to help. I'm so sorry life started out so hard for you, but I'm very glad you ended up with a good job, and you always knew how to take the time out to smell the roses. It was noted that you had two dogs, your fishing buddies. I can see you out there now, going fishing with them on West Point Lake. I know you were in heaven when you were fishing. I hope that you have been able to see your mother and father already. That will be a huge question answered for you. I will never know another person like you, so kind, and calm, and full of giving, and helping others. Thank you for all of our wonderful time together. Bye for now, I'll see you again. Love, Debbie Crabbs-Hicks.
