We are so sorry for the whole family's great loss. You will be in our prayers during this difficult time.

Marilyn And Family, My heart breaks for your loss. You will see Jim/Dad/Brother/Etc. someday soon. I wiil keep (as always) you guys in my heart,thoughts, and prayers. God Bless You All. I So Very Much Love You, Barbara

Aunt Marilyn, Jackie, Gwen, Jimmy, and Kristi: Words cannot express how sorry I am at the loss of Uncle Jim. I personally was not ready for this to happen. Uncle Jim affected so many lives in such a positive way and that was so evident by the standing room only crowd that attended his viewing and funeral. He was a GREAT man and will always be remembered and cherished in my heart. He was a 2nd father to me and my siblings and I know how great our pain is at this time, so I can only imagine...

I am so thankful that I could make it to Memphis for Uncle Jim's funeral. Uncle Jim's funeral was one of the greatest tributes/celebration of a man's life I have ever witness. I didn't know him quite as intimatley as my other cousins, but I loved him just the same. Aunt Marilyn, Jackie, Gwen, Jimmy and Christy, I am so aware of what the days ahead of you will be like. You have a STRONG family support system. What a blessing that is!

My deepest sympathy extends to Marilyn and all the Cooper Family. May the Lord comfort you in this your time of need.

Aunt Marilyn, Jackie, Gwen, Jimmy and Kristy....I can't express how sorry I am for the loss and emptiness that you mush feel as G-d ushered Uncle Jim home. I want you know what a wonderful uncle he was to me and my sisters ad there are so many 'standout' memories that I have of him that I will treasure....when he pulled my first tooth at your house on wellons.....when he was at my track meet the day I sprung my ankle very badly and he carried me off of the field, and the many, many times...

Jim's smile and gently words, his love of family and his concern for others will is a great lost to all who knew him. My heart goes out to his wife and children. You are so fortunate that God gave you such a wonderful gift of having Jim as a husband, father, brother and friend. The world has lost another great man.

Uncle Jim was a wonderful man. I have so many awesome memories. He will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time, but rest assured Uncle Jim is in Heaven with Granny, Granddaddy, Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Bonnie rejoicing with our Lord.
Love to all, Misty, Rachel, Breanna and Joshua Greenough
