WE are praying for your family. We know Jimmy isn't suffering any more and what a wonderful time he must be having with his Lord and Savior. I would love to be able to come to the service but didn't feel that I was able to make the trip. Our heart and prayers are with all of you. Praying God will comfort your hearts and give you peace.

Tom and I are praying for your family daily. What a tremendous legacy your father has left in you. Having lost my father last year I understand what a difficult time this is for you and will continue to lift you up in prayer over the next few months. In reading your postings it was obvious that your father had a deep love for the Lord. May you find rest and comfort knowing he is now in the arms of Christ! Our love and prayers go with you...

What a legacy Jim left not only for his family but for those who knew him. Little did I know that when my brother asked me to pray for him, it would be such an honor and blessing for me. May our precious Lord surround all of you with His peace, strength, and comfort, knowing that one day you will be together again.
