I guess I will always remember Uncle James as an outdoors person, mainly a fisherman. He was there the last time I caught any fish.I was unable to attend the service due to scheduled surgery.
James will always be in my fondest memories.

Era I am so sorry for your lost and to all of Slim's family. I wish that i could be there tomorrow but unfortunately I am out of town on business. Know that my father, Virgil Havard was there to meet him on the other side. They are probably catching up on all their talks that they have missed for the last three years. May God Richly Bless Each One of You.
