I went to high school with Jim and although many years have passed I still remember his smile and outlook on life. He was a great guy then and I'm sure was the same in his later life. You have my deepest sympathy in your loss.

Mickie,
I was so sorry to hear about Jim, I lost a husband in 1997 at the age of 54 so I know what you are going through although each person's situation is a different. I want you to know you are in my prayers and if you decided you would want to come to the reunion to honor Jim, please let me know and your way is paid. Ruthellen (Kelley) Gunning - 667-8272
