My Father gave me a great gift...this life. I enjoyed sharing it with Him. I miss Him very much. When I was growing up our family would make trips to. N. Carolina. On one trip at 4AM as we were driving down a two lane hyway throuigh Mt., I told Dad I wad gong to live here. After thirty-seven years of living here I've kept my word to Him. That was Dad's favorite story to tell people about me.

So happy we were able to spend a couple days with Jim and Laura this past September. It has been our pleasure to have known Jim over many years, and we always enjoyed being with him, and will always remember his visit at our house on one of his trips to North Carolina.
