Dear Evelyn and Kim,
I just heard about Jimmy and pray that the Lord will give you His comforter during your time of grief and sorrow. I remember playing with cousin Jimmy on the farm during a visit we made from Texas one year. I am afraid I may have vexed him during his chores when I was trying to "help" him!! My prayers remain with you both....
Cousin Lee (Uncle Ray's daughter)
