I met Jim a few years ago through Lisa, and he was a precious soul! He loved and cared for her with so much love and they had so many good times together, It was obvious that God had placed them together! He always had a smile on his face and he could make some good bread!! Lisa I know you will miss him but know that he will be with you always, right by your side❤❤Prayers for peace for you and the family

The entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Though not in any of your classes, I was a 1960 grad. An item of interest that you may not be aware of, my parents, Bernie and Erlene Grace, shared a house with your parents during their early marriage in the late 1930s - early 1940s, working in logging, etc. My older sister, Betty was just a toddler and your parents had Jimmy and possibly Shirley at that time. Mom told me stories of that time when they cooked for all the "mill hands." After my mother passed away, I found a studio portrait of Jimmy and Shirley which I had seen many times over the years, given to her by Kathleen. Kind of sad now that connection wasn't continued. My sister Betty passed away many years ago, a couple of years before our mother's death. I know how hard it is to lose a family member and pray for all of you during this time.
