Oh how Jim loved this beautiful lady. To know her was to love her.

Jean and John Lawson were two of the dearest friends I ever had. I cherish the memories we shared. They kind of took me in as one of their own and stood by me when I probably didn't deserve it. We had some great times together over many years. Like John before, he always mentioned that she was adorable and I have to agree with that. Jean, I know that you are with your lover and confidant. All my love. Jim "Coach" Hampton.
