  4. Miss Betty and Family, I am so sorry for your loss! Jim was a great man and will be missed by many people in the community. I am sure he had a beautiful reunion with Tracy. It’s hard to believe he has been gone 18 years now. I’m so sorry my family and I won’t be able to attend services as we are out of town but please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
    Much love, Adrianne (Harris) Williams

  13. Betty, I don’t believe we’ve ever met but my name is Karen just like your sister-in-law. I am friends with Karen and Tommy. Longtime friends over 50 years with Karen. We met in high school when she lived in Florida. She advised me of your husband, Jim, and his passing away and going home to be with the Lord on Friday. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow and the coming days. Thank the Lord we have him to turn to for comfort and reassurance during the loss of a loved one here in this live. It is so wonderful to know we will be reunited with all loved ones who have gone on before us.

  18. We are so sorry, Betty. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! We just found out Jim had gone home. Our lives have revolved around Davis for a little while and the medicine trial. Thank you again for your loving spirit. Jim was a warm, friendly, good man who will be missed by many! Jennie and Allen Smith
