I will greatly miss my "second" daddy Jim. I know he will find the peace he has been missing since his daughter and grand-daughter went to be with God. I love you "momma" Dorothy and Greg and I will always be there for you. If you need me I will be there. I love you both.

Even though the years have passed I think of you and your family often. Dorothy I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and Greg as God takes Jim by the hand and leads him home to glory. Just knowing he is at home with Jesus is a comfort in itself. I will be praying for you all! Stephanie W.
