Dear Chris, Tim, Lee and other family. We haven't seen Jimmy since mama, your Aunt Rowena, died, in May of 2009.
I had often wondered how Jimmy was doing.
I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy, Susan and I were not as close to your dad or Pete growing up. But we loved them both.
You know, Cindy passed away three years ago. But I will tell Susan about Jimmy. She will feel the same sense of loss I do.
God be with you and your families.
Love you, your cousins,
Susan Carter and Jim and
Billie Carter Wyatt
