Reflections for Sheriff James Davis McKinnie, Jr.

I was 5 years old when you passed. But God rest your soul uncle James. Aunt Birdie was buried with honors for taking over your roll as Sherriff. We just lost another family member that you just received in heaven. Birdie's sister Mary Sue. That leaves one of 10, my mom Shirley.
