Dorthy, I am so sad to read about Jim. I have watched you be a dear devoted wife to Jim and always lending a smile to those around you. I will miss your kind smile and words every time I visit my mama. May God be with you and your family.
Love, Janie and Floy

I was sorry to hear about the passing of my friend Jim
He had been a friend and patient of mine for many years.
We had much in common and we especially liked to talk of his time growing up in Dyess, Arkansas
He was also a friend and partner of my friend Jerry Moody, who passed away many years ago.
My best regards to his wife Dorothy and his family.
