I want to extend my sincere sympathy to Agnes and the whole family. I was so shocked when I received the call this morning that James had passes away. I can't remember when James and Agnes were not in my lives. Agnes you know ya'll meant so much to mother and me. The fun trips to the all night singings and the Joyful Noise. I was still waiting for ya'll to show up at the Catfish Hollow one Tuesday night. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and look forward to hearing from you soon.
