Jim will ever be in my heart and in the heart of the Northend community. Every time I pass by Basham's, I think of him. He was such a pleasant man. Anyone who ever had the opportunity to meet him, even briefly, would remember him. God bless the Basham family always. We miss you.

We remember Mr Basham fondly. He and Mrs Sharon were such a loving couple who helped us find our decorating style. They definitely loved one another and their family. May the memories that linger be those of joy and laughter. We will be remembering all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
