Our hearts and prayers are with Jim today. Randy and I always looked forward to seeing him and Annie at the shows. They were always so kind and if you seen one, you seen the other. Jim will need all the prayers he can get to make it through the rest of his life without Annie. After that many years, a person becomes a part of you. God can give peace though.

The funeral is this coming Thursday at "High bridge Baptist church" about 4 miles outside of Wilburton, Ok., and she will be buried in a cemetary on the church grounds.
Thank you all so much for all the thoughts and prayers, she was a well loved lady here at home, and in the steel guitar community.
