Many fond memories of the Keown's from our time at Community Baptist in Bradenton, FL. Jim and Jane hosted our discipleship study group, and had a helping hand in practically every aspect of the ministry while they were able, & always had a kind word, and a smile for everybody. Jane had a talent for baking & cooking that Jim generously allowed her to share the results many, many times. Sadness now for family and friends left behind, but don't you know, Rebecca & Jane met him with open arms, and they'll walk the golden streets together with the Lord!

Fond memories from Southside Baptist Church and of course driving Sunday bus routes bringing families in to hear about Jesus. Jim also helped my mother Theodora Hanson get a wonderful mobile home when it was time for her to join us here. Prayers for the family.
