Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss of your Dad. My prayers are with you and yours.

I hadn't seen my First Cousin Jim in a very many years, perhaps  not since he went "out West".  When we were both young...... I must have been around mid-teens and Jim 6 years younger....I used to go to Jim's house on every Saturday night to watch TV. We  didn't have a TV, but my Aunt Vivian and Uncle Jim Goble  (the parents of "Little Jim", as we called him then) did have TV.  We would watch The Lucky Strike Hit Parade, Sid Caesars's Show of Shows, and wrestling.  I recall "cutting class" at school sometime later to go to Jim's house to watch General MacArthur give his retirement speech in which he said "old soldiers never die, they just fade away!". 

Jim  has "faded away", now, but our heavenly Father will take care of him from now on!

Love to you and  yours,

Thomas F. (Tom) Talbert, Jr.
