Rick, Rod, Doug and families,
I am so sorry for the loss of both of your parents. They were both awesome people. I was so happy when I was chosen to be their caregiver for a while. We did a lot of reminiscing about Toboso and all the people we knew. Your grandparents lived on one side of us and your aunt and uncle lived on the other side of us the whole time we were growing up. Your mom counted out my penny candy at Gault's grocery. Yes that was a long time ago, when there was still penny candy! I'm so sory that I haven't been to see them in a while. I will be at their service to pay my respects to two wonderful people. They didn't have to be apart very long and now they are together again. R.I.P Jim & Ruth Mary I Love you both. Barb

Deepest Sympathy to all the family. What a wonderful and kind man that I grew to know and love in caring for him during his illness. He never complained and always spoke of his love for his boys and his family. May he be at peace. He will be greatly missed. So sorry that Ruth also passed. I know Jim always spoke of "mom" and he needed to talk with her about any decision he made. I know he had a great love for her as well.
