Jim is “Father knows Best”, one of the Bestest.
Jim taught & trained Lura how to be a Military Wife, she took to it like she had already been a military wife in another life.
Jim was a wonderful husband and Lura’s very bestest friend. I am very sorry for those who did not have the privilege knowing them.
Lura and Jim were Married 33 years When she passed June 30, 2002 from Cancer. It should have been me. Lura is (and will always be) My Twin Sister. We were connected thru a very special bond from birth, I feel we still are. I am looking forward to being with my Sis in the not too distant future.
