Read MoreMemories of Jim and Dorothy come flooding back. They will forever hold a special place in my heart. Lovely, gracious, filled with wit, sugar and spice in their words. So healing, and that precious fragrance of their lives is passed on in their family members. Thank you Father God, for allowing me to know and love Jim and Dorothy, and their beloved family. See you in the morning, delightful friends!

Jim and Dorothy have been a part of my life since I was 19 and a student at Evangel College. Always exceedingly kind and humble, I am a better person for having known them. Rest in peace dear, beloved friends, and we will see you at the Great Awakening, by God´s grace. Lovingly in Christ, Betty Lowell.

We are sad to read of the homegoing of one our favorite professors at Evangel University in 1966.

Jim was my psychology professor at Evangel College in 1966. I learned much from him. In fact I was a counselor myself for several years at a mental health center. Perhaps he influenced me in that direction. He showed much courage in speaking what he thought in a conservative Christian institutional setting. I too am United Methodist now, rather than Assemblies of God, but the Evangel experience was important to my spiritual development as it must have been for his growth. I know you all...

I was a better person for knowing Jim. He was a very decent and caring person. Jim and I shared many stories and interests including formula 1 racing.
I know he is very content where he is now.

We send you our sympathies, Dorothy. We remember you and Jim from Ramblewood Apts, and you both were very important to our lives as we started out. We learned a great deal from you -- and you always gave me coffee!
