My deepest condolences to the Carpenter family. Although I haven't seen him in many years, I remember Jim fondly from our days at Emory. He was a great guy - always willing to help out a friend - and always the life of the party. He will be missed.

Dear Janet, Susan, Thomas, Tessa, and Catherine, We are praying for God's loving arms to surround each one of you as you grieve the loss of your husband and father. James was a good friend and brother in the Lord. His passion for prayer, especially in these last 5 years or so, was an example to us and a testimony of his love for God and his concern for others. His generosity, whether to missionaries, friends in need, or strangers he just met was legendary. Some people become bitter and...

Janet and James' loved ones: I didn't know. I am sooooo sorry I missed the celebration of his life. It always astounded me how James sought opportunities to give and share. As recently as 2 yr ago, he called at the end of my placement cycle for exchange students to inquire if I had anyone left and that he was interested in helping out. His life seemed painfully short, but in God's own timing, we all are taken.Man, I can simply imagine the BLAST of trumpets as he arrives in Heaven! Can't you??

I met James at Hammer. I got to know his most gracious family thru his sister Virginia. What I will always remember is his strong, broad smile. His strong passion for his beliefs. And his strong desire to give to others a quality shared with his sister Virginia. Thank you James you will be remembered by these things you taught us.
