In memory of our brother and brother-in-law.
2 Cor. 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

He just went to sleep peacefully in the arms of Jesus.

Rev. 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

You done so much good work for many dear Senior Saints and Shut-Ins that you will have rewards in a real beautiful place called Heaven and your works will follow you.

Jimmy, We will see you in the morning
