My sweet Uncle James!! I am going to miss you so much! I know you are in heaven with my Daddy right now & ya''ll are probably causing a ruckus as only you two could when ya''ll got together.........probably challenging each other to see who could eat the most hot peppers!! I''ll never forget when I was very young when you & Aunt Margie had gotten a movie projector. We came down to watch movies ya''ll had made & you had me going forwards and backwards on my bike..........I was so amazed that you could do that! I don''t know why you nicknamed me Grannie...........but I feel special because you did so!! Thanks for always making me feel special! I''ll love you forever & always!!

Dear Mrs. Wilson
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Wilson was such a sweet man, me and my wife Becky thought alot of him. I had meant so many times to come by and visit with him but just never had the chance, this is something I truly regret. May the Lord comfort you in knowing he is in a better place now where he has to suffer no more and may the Lord bless you until you meet again.

Love in Christ,
Ralph Edwards
