Dear Margaret and family, I was so, so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Golly, he's going to be missed so much, especially by all of us Red Devils. I enjoyed working with him at Tech. He was "top notch". All my thoughts and prayers to you.

ILL MEET GOD IN THE MORNING,
THE EARTH IS THE LORDS AND
THE FULNESS THERE OF- IT SPEAKS
OF HIS GREATNESS,IT SINGS OF HIS LOVE,
AND EACH DAY AT DAWNING I LIFT MY
HEART HIGH AND RAISE UP MY EYES
TO THE INFINITE SKY.....
I WATCH THE NIGHT VANISH AS A NEW DAY
IS BORN,AND I HEAR THE BIRDS SING
ON THE WINGS OF THE MORN I SEE THE DEW
GLISTEN IN CRYSTAL-LIKE SPLENDOR
WHILE GOD, WITH A TOUCH THAT IS GENTLE
AND TENDER, WRAPS UP THE NIGHT AND SOFTLY TUCKS IT AWAY AND HANGS OUT
THE SUN TO HEARLD ANEW DAY.....
AND SO I GIVE THANKS AND MY HEART
KNEELS TO PRAY- GOD KEEP ME AND
GUIDE ME AND GO WITH ME TODAY.
LOVE AND PRAYERS
MELANIE AND JUDY DUDDING
NEWPORT, VA.

Saddened to hear Jimmie Brotherton had died. He was always
one of my best friends and a real Red Devil. We played football
together and chummed around growing up. He was a prince of
a fellow, He was loved by all who knew him, God Bless the family.
