    Diane, I am truly saddened to hear the loss of your husband. I was introduced to James Shortly after I moved to Kentucky through a mutual friend. He was truly a man of his word. I learned a lot from James who shared stories of your children with me as I was a young father at the time. He allowed my boys and I to create special memories on your properties while we lived in Kentucky.
