So sorry Nancy and Robin for your loss. Robin brought her grandmother Mabel to see me in Anaheim many years ago, maybe when she lived near here. Mabel and Maude Rhodes Kinder, my mother were cousins and very close since they lived in Jonesboro and Anna. I was in school with Jimmie and he and his friends would come down to the Kinder farm and mostly talk with my dad, Virgil. Jimmie and I corresponded for awhile and then lost contact. Sorry again for your loss. I heard about this from one of his classmates.

Hi Nancy. I send Colleen and my condolences to you and your family. We always enjoyed seeing Jim, hearing his humorous stories, and experiencing his obvious and honest love for you and his family.
In this time of sadness, I offer my prayers and blessings for Jim, you, and your family.
