Not sure what to say?

Ruth and family, I was so sorry to hear about Jim. He is someone who has always had a special place in my heart when it comes to precious brothers in the Lord. He certainly heard those words "Well done my good and faithful servant". I know he will be dearly missed but we grieve not as those without hope, knowing we will see our dear loved ones before too long. Your in my thoughts and prayers. With love,
Robin (Langkamp) DeFabbio

Dear Ruth, Claudia and family,
We so loved and respected Jim and are grateful for the years that we knew him. His heart for God, the church, and missions was an inspiration and example to us all. He was a gentle, gracious and loving man who we so enjoyed being around. May the Lord comfort your heart at this time of loss. We love you, Henny and Jim

Many of our children, who grew up at FOL, remember Jim fondly, too.

Mike and I both enjoyed getting to know Jim when we attended FOL. We moved away but heard about this from church facebook friends. My sincere sympathy, prayers, and love are being sent to you who carry on. In Christ, Marti and Mike Valasek

Ruth, Claudia, & Family,
My deepest condolences. Jim was such a wonderful man of God. He always had a hug and a kind word for everyone he came into contact with. I also loved his sense of humor, frequently making me laugh at house group. He will be missed!
Sincerely, Carol (Dyson), Jim, & Rachel Yarbrough

Ruth, Claudia, and family, May God comfort you in your loss. Jim's gentle and loving hugs and ready smile will be missed!
Love and prayers,

Dear Aunt Ruth and Family,
The DeBoers and Tamelings have always had such a special relationship, and we're really going to miss our cousin Jim. He has always inspired us with his great Christian faith, his fun personality and his humor, even in the last few weeks, laughing with us when he could hardly talk anymore. We pray for God's comfort for all the family.
Love,
Russ and Judy (Tameling) Erffmeyer

Ruth and Family
You have our deepest sympathy. We love you! Jim was one of my best friends and probably the most righteous man I have ever known. There are only a small handful of guys that fit in that group and Jim is one of them. My heart is broken as I know yours is. We look forward to the day when Jesus brings us back together.
Love
Chris for the Langkamp Family

Ruth and family, you are in my prayers during this time. May God's peace engulf you right now.
