Dear Burkholder family, it was a privilege to know Jim and to witness his love of the Lord, and your family. Every opportunity that I had aquaintance with him, his inner light and joy was truly expressed outwardly. I delighted to watch the interactions with his parents and his brothers during their visits. I lift you up in prayer for peace and healing from the separation of his presence, and rejoicing at his ever lasting life with Christ our Lord!
