Pam and Larry, I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out that Jim passed in November.My parents and your parents had such a special caring friendship and Jim was always there when needed. Jim was an awesome caring man. Now they can be neighbors again in heaven.
God Bless

To everyone that was there, to everyone who called, sent a card or thought of us that day, we want to say thank you. My dad was no less than one of a kind and I can only hope that I can live up to just a small portion of the wonderful person that he was. Know that each of you held a special place in his heart as well as in ours. We love each of you and sincerely appreciate and treasure the memories shared over the years.
I miss you Daddy.

My dad & I wanted Jim's family to know how much we loved Jim. He & Nell use to visit my mother, dad & myself in Austin. We so enjoyed Jim. He was truly a very nice person.

Sending condolences to Jim's family. My mother, Nita Kitley, was Nellie Paul's cousin, and was so very fond of Jim as we all were. My heartfelt sympathies to the family in their loss. Sincerely, Jan Benbow

Jim was a very special person to all of us in the Davis household. To my sisters and I, he was someone that we came to admire and respect, and cared for deeply. His friendship to us and to mother meant so much. We will miss his trips to Waco. Although we hate to give him up in our lives, we know that he is happy now that he is reunited with Nell.
We shall miss you dear Jim, but will cherish all the fond memories of you. Till we see you again,
Love, Annie Lee, Gail and Delores
