Dana and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. You are in my prayers and if there is anything I can do please call on me. My dad was postmaster in Marianna during the time your dad drove the mail truck. He would talk about him a lot. Cherish your memories, they can't be taken away.

Dana, I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy's passing. I worked at the West Helena Post Office when Jimmy drove the big truck in from Memphis. He was always a cut up. I missed his clowning around when he quit coming to the office. My prayers are with you and your family. I am sending my thoughts to Mary Lou and Lee Roy also.
