Dear Jennie and Family:
We were saddened to hear of Jimmy's death. Although our paths have not crossed in years because of the different types of practices of law and his retirement, Jimmy was always a special man in my eyes and a great man and a great lawyer.
Please accept our sympathy and promises to pray for you who are left behind. Having lost a wife before to breast cancer, I know you will need the prayers of your brothers and sisters in Christ.
If there is anything we can do for you, do not hesitate to call on us.
Yours in the Battles,
Rick and Brenda Spencer
