Clarice and Anna,
Jimmy Dale was a great and loving friend growing up and had a heart of gold. I regret not being able to spend more time with him as adults. He was also Zilla's classmate for awhile in Vardaman. We hope to make it to Ripley in time to see you but I have a morning meeting in Oxford. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Anna,
I just wanted to let you know that I was praying for you and your mother today and will continue to do so. I can't imagine what it has been like for you to see a parent suffer....though you will miss him, greatly, your dad is in a much better place and pain free! Growing up together, your father treated me like your brother!
May God graciously comfort you and your mom these days, weeks and months ahead,
Jeff Hollin
