this is such an incredibly late-entry... i apologise.
i loved the relationship between Danetta and Jimmie. while i was at their home years and years ago, Jimmie and Danetta walked in, and Jimmie was singing "Happy to be Stuck With You" by Huey Lewis and the News - and he was singing it to Danetta; the way they looked at each other -- i'll never forget! their obvious and enduring love for each other has always stuck in my mind - and has been a source of inspiration over the years in my own marriage. peace & love~

I remember my first time in Red River. I went up with my Paw Paw and Granny. We went up every summer or every other summer. When we (the Ballards) got into town, Jim and Dannetta met us with open arms. Jim and Dannetta soon became part of our family and in return treated us as their family. Jim and Dannetta opened not only their community but their home. Jim will be greatly missed. Especially his smile and love for life. Red River will not be the same without him. Dannetta, my heart goes out to you and your family. I look forward to seeing you this summer.

Dear Danetta and Keith,
My deepest sympathy goes out to both of you. I have been praying for your family ever since I heard Jimmie was sick. My fondest memory of your father was the way he looked at Danetta and the way he loved you Keith. I don't think you will ever know the wonderful impact your family had in my life. Peace and Blessings,
Rosie

Dad,
It is 25 years ago this summer that I met you, Mom and Keith for the very first time. As anyone who has been blessed to meet your family knows that you must have been pretty special for my parents who have never seen you before leave their only daughter with you, Mom and Keith for the rest of the summer. And every summer after that for many many years. God has blessed me by knowing you, enjoying you and most of all loving you all. You are my mom and dad and bubbie even though not a spec in us is blood related. I will never be able to express my love for you. I am so proud of the way you were strong through this. We are all blessed to have crossed your path for the short time we are here on earth. I look forward to the day I see you again! Ride into the sunset and wait for us to meet you..all my love
Your daughter,
Amy

Danetta, I am sorry that I didn't get to see Jimmie before he passed away. I've prayed for you guys for years and I really loved you both. Remember the time we raced those Corvettes all the way to Houston, I think Jimmie holds the world record for that run. If there is anything I can do for you please call me any time. Say hello to Keith. Lisa and family sends their love. May the Lord bless you. Tim

The last time we saw Jimmie was when we went skiing in Jan 2006, we met Jimmie and Danetta for supper and had a great time. Even through his sickness he always had a smile on his face. We know that he is no longer suffering. For the short time that Kim knew him she thought he was an awesome guy. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. Love always Myrna and Kim.

My uncle Jimmie King was such a special person in my life. I am his only niece and he always made me feel loved and special. I admired Jimmie so much because he fought his disease with everything that he had with such heart and such spirit. He was one of the kindest people that I will ever know and I will miss him with all my heart.

I love you Uncle Jimmie!
