Paula,
I was sorry to hear about Jim. I have a ton of memories of you all and enjoyed the time I spent visiting the coast and watching the Gamecocks play! Jim knew how to crack that whip when Coty and I were up to no good! Pass my email address on to Coty and ask her get in touch sometime. I'll be thinking of you!

Your old place hasn't changed much, as ours hasn't. Take care of yourself. Would love to see you. Give my love to Scott and Cody.

We will always remember Jim's giving heart. You two were the best neighbors and we missed you when we moved. The trips we took together were so much fun, and thanks to "Cash", we never went broke! Paula, you were the very best wife and caretaker for Jim, and you'll be in our prayers, as well as the rest of your family. We are here for you, always. Anne and Sam
