I will miss Mr. Appleseth so very much! I remember when he first moved into Timberwood AL and we all fell in love with him~He was a sweet sweet man who loved his family dearly! He would talk about them with the biggest smile on his face. When we would have entertainers here he would dance with me until he just couldn't do it any longer! Jim will be forever in my heart!
