Condolences for James D. Morton “Jim”
Oh Carol how my heart breaks for you! To find each other again was wonderful- to see each other in heaven will be amazing! Jim was an awesome neighbor & his skills on the barbecue & smoker were out of this world. He always kept his eye on the neighborhood & for that I’m grateful. Ride in the sky Jim!
