To Clara, Trudie, and family:

You are in my prayers today. I cannot remember a time that the Rices or Sikes' were not in my circle of friends. Just like family. James was a treasure and I have many good memories from the past. I am glad he was part of my journey here on earth. Won't it be great when we all meet again? God Bless you all as you continue on.

Love and Hugs,
Betty Jackson
