Boots, I am sorry I just found out. Please know you are in my prayers. I will miss my WV papaw. I'm so upset I was not able to get up there again to say goodbye. You both meant so much to me. Lots of love to you and your family. Jim was such a sweet man. Will miss him greatly. In honor of Jim being from WV I attached a picture of our daughter, Jayden Izabella.
