Dubach, LA Monday, September 16, 2013 We in Dubach were saddened to learn of Mrs. James's passing. When she and her husband Dwaine lived with us, they were fine members of our community, and great Christian friends at First Baptist Church of Dubach. She and Dwaine were brought to Dubach by his employment with Mississippi River Transmission Corp., and we were blessed by them for many years until they retired and moved to Star City. Godspeed to you, Mrs. James. You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.Hazel Pennington
