    Sorry to hear that Jimmy has lost his dear wife. Jimmy and I were privileged to live in the same great Field City community and were in the same graduating class from Carrollton High School.

    I first met Jim and Eva Owen when my son married their daughter, Christina. She has been a blessing to our family. Our families enjoyed many gatherings throughout the years. We will truly miss you, Eva, at future gatherings but you will always be remembered. Rest in peace. Nelda

    Christina and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Though I never met Mrs. Owens, I feel like I know her from the stories you’ve shared over the years. Hold on to all of those good memories and stay strong as I’m sure that would be her wish. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
