Dear Nancy and family, Jack and I are so sorry to hear of Mr. James passing. You both have always been so special to us thru many ways. Your relationship working with Jack at Lincoln County Bank and the closeness you have with Karen and Lisa and Suzanne and family. We have heard from you all through them but didn’t realize Mr. James was this sick. You know God has you and family in his hands and we know where Mr. James is. Love to you all andif we can do anything please let us know. I forgot to mention Judy you sister who has been such a good friend to me. Prayers to you all!

God was preparing for your arrival, little did we know how soon that would be. What an honor and blessing to care for you on Friday. You made me laugh, and today you made me cry when I heard the sad news of your departure to Heaven. Breathe easy, Mister Washburn, breathe easy. What an honor that God placed me with you on Friday. I hope that my son greeted you at the gate! Hugs to your wife!
