Jimmie Merdian Memories December 8, 2008

 David & Renee:

 

Sorry for the loss of your father. Jimmie was a good friend to my late husband Bill Newton and to me.  He was aklways there when we needed help.  They (Bill) grew up in Henry and even though there were several years between them they stayed friends to the end.  Jimmie helped when Bill's mother died and he was a great help to me when my bill went on to the Lord.  Even though I have lost touch with him since that time, I think of him since his phone number is on the blackboard by the phone,(it is my husbands hand writing.  I will keep all of you in my prayers soince I feel he is up in heaven with all his friends.  Joyce Newton
