I'm going to miss you Grandpa, we had some good times. I didn't get to spend alot of time with you, but we made the best of what we had. My deepest sympathy to Grandma White and my aunts Karen, Toni, Shirley, and my mother Cindy. Keep him in your hearts and don't forget how much life is really worth. As for Jim, Lord knows how much he is talking about us in Heaven. I'm sure he is happy and at peace.

Aunt Bertie, cousins, and your families my heart goes out but Uncle Jim will be with you in memory at all hours of the day and will help to guide God's hand in shaping your future. Believe that.
Uncle Jim, you managed to touch the hearts of many and will thus be mourned by many. I so enjoyed receiving your letters and will be at a loss without them. Grandma, Mom, Margaret, and Anna Mae must be rejoycing to have you with them. It is Aunt Bertie and all the Girls and their families that will miss you so much and suffer a huge void in their lives.
Please pray for and ask God's mercy for those of us who are left behind.
You will forver be in my memories. Much love, your niece, Donna.
