    Jim was a wonderful neighbor and friend for a long time. I will miss him dearly. My prayers and sympathies to Joyce and his family. I will be forever grateful for his help and friendship during my own Father's illness. I know my Dad will be among those welcoming his friend home in paradise.

    Lola Benson & Family says:
    Uncle Miles fought a brave, courageous & hard battle with cancer, never knowing how much pain he would have to endure or for how long. But, he wasn't concerned with that. His only concern was for the loved ones he was leaving behind. Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. His favorite thing next to fishing was probably laughter because he was quite the joker and boy could he tell a story! So as much as we hate to see him go, others are rejoicing to see him arrive! Moma and Grandaddy probably have rod-n-reels, cane poles, bait, tackle and the perfect pond picked out already, just waiting for him. So, every time I "wet a hook", hear a good joke, play a trick, or pass "your office", I will think of you with fond memories, forever in my heart.
