Jim.-- I am sorry that I cannot be there for your wife's funeral. I have always had the greatest respect for you personally and your professionalism both as an NCO and an engineer. That you were married for 63 years speaks to your character and the love between you and your wife. I know that this is an incalculable loss for both you and your family. My prayers are with you and your family. Scotty

My sympathy to the family. Although I did not know Kathryn, she was my mother's cousin. My grandmother Nora Herren Penn, was the sister of Kathryn's father Calvin. There are now only 3 grandchildren of John and Roxie Herren left.

With Deep Sympathy during your time of sorrow, Heaven is forever changed. Ms. Kay that we love is reunited with those that have gone before. It was by accident I have shared a small part of her life, hot summer days sitting and reminiscing about days gone by. Trips to Biloxi and Vegas we both never seemed to get enough of. Ms. Kay was proud of Li’l Jim and Stacy always sharing family stories. But mostly it was the love in her life Mr. Jim that was her rock and faith that kept her strong. It’s hard to find words that will bring your family comfort, just remember our heart and thoughts go out to you.
