May you rest in peace dear brother, James, and know that you will be sorely missed by all your loved ones. Annette & I will always hold you dear to our hearts as you and Lucille stood up for us when we were married October 14, 1961. You were always my older brother whom I looked up to and admired, and who worked sooo hard for his family!!! I will always remember riding in the Sheriff's Posse with you and what fun we had at the rodeos, parades and family functions. LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR BROTHER, ARNOLD
