To Jimmy and his family.
I just want to send my condolences and pray that the Lord will give you all peace and comfort during this time.
I worked for Citizens Savings & Loan in Kingsport and used to visit Jimmy and Fayne often to see how business was going. Fayne would always have several stories to tell me of the events that took place and the thing he got into while he had the business. I always enjoyed those stories & visiting him.
Those felt like special times to me.
GOD BLESSL YOU ALL !!!!!
