Audrey, was so sorry to hear you lost your Jim. Remember me as one of the girls that walked with you and Jim for many years at the Mall. I know we just met up not long ago at Wal-Mart, looking for the same kind of curtains. I''ll be sure to let the rest of the "walking" girls know of your loss. We know now his legs will be good in Heaven, walking with the Lord.
