Dear Elin,
Jim was a source of much joy and creative thinking as I experienced at SERRV. I am thankful I was able work with him for a couple years before my retirement. He was a blessing to each us there and to the SERRV program.

My Dear sister Elin, I enjoyed our years together and the wonderful smiles you and Jim had for me in the National Christian Choir. You folks are so modest I had no idea of all of his accomplishments. Thank God for Jim's many gifts and his sharing of those gifts. Gloria Deo
