I have several Memories of Uncle Jim the ones that come to mind is how often him and uncle David would pester there Sister Aunt Clararenne until she to passed. Me being 10 climbing a tree at the family picnic grandma going to switch Jake,Allen and I for climbing it after being told countless time to not do that for it was almost on the rd. She came after us uncle Jim said stand by me sweetheart Let her get the other two first he was saving me from the switch! She didn’t switch is that day but I’m sure we got in trouble over that tree several more times. Then a grown wom kids of my own he would see me and say you turned into a wonderful mother and a beautiful young woman how did that happen ? He would laugh I would say the way we where raised I guess. Here the past few years he would say how great it is that my kids turned out so good Richard and I should be proud. Until we meet again uncle! Give all our loved ones hugs specially my momma
