I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I didn't hear in time to attend his funeral but certainly would have. I am related through the late Maude Scott who was one of Henry Elton McGhee's sisters. My mother was Arlene Scott Young. Please know that I will be thinking of all of you during this sad time.
