Dear Nancy Paige and family. I am so sorry to have learned of Jim's death. I prayed so hard that he could continue his fight for life till your 50th Anniversary. I sure will miss him teasing me about helping Uncle Tom pulling the deer out of the woods!! I only wish I could be there for you but please know whenever I can get back to Stormont you will be one of the first I will visit. Let me know when Stone gets the "big buck". I love you and will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sissy
