Aunt Audrey, Linda & Janelle, we are thinking of all of you and wish you the comfort that Uncle Jim has now joined other family members and now looking down on all of us. Always looked forward to the family visits when you all would come east (usually in late summer). Love, Kathryn (Cain) & Oscar Powers

Aunt Audrey, Janelle and Linda,

I wish I could be with you at this time. I know how you must feel but always remember that your memories live on forever. Uncle Jim was a wonderful man who loved a good joke and could make you laugh at any moment. I will always remember the visits Jim and Audrey made back to NC when they were able to. I was fortunate to visit them in OK several years back. I will miss Uncle Jim but I know that he is home with Granddad, Grandma, Shirley, Jean and my dad, Sam having a great family reunion. Know that everyone of you are in my prayers. Love to all,

Carol Ann
