James had the most beautiful singing voice. He was so faithful to go to the Union County Nursing Home for several years and sing and play his guitar for the Residents. They loved when he came to sing to them! Gladys was always there with him as he ministered in such a beautiful way. Condolences and sympathy to all of his family. Loretta Petty
