Jim and family,
We were so very sorry to hear about the passing of your father.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so saddened by the loss of "Poppy Jim." He was such a special man. He loved his family and friends so much and lived his life to the fullest. We are so thankful to have known him and loved him. May your precious memories of him and all the good times you shared sustain you at this most difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We love you,

In the short time that I knew him, Mr. Magarahan (Poppy Jim)was a sweet, kind man that, along with Mary, graciously opened his home to a group of his daughter-in-law's (Melinda) Mary Kay unit girls to stay while attending Charlotte conferences.We always laughed and made some great memories. My prayers and love to all of the Magarahans.

Jim & Melinda,
Just wanted you all to know that you are in our prayers. We want be able to attend the service but please know that we will be thinking of you and your family at this time.

Godspeed Cuz! James taught me how to spell Magarahan ("it's easy to remember Yankee, every other letter is an "a"), and I taught him how to spell Yastrzemski. Both are Hall of Famers!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. May God give you the strength to rejoice in his life.

Jim and Melinda, We are so sorry about Poppy Jim. He was a special person to us. He will be missed.Our prayers are with each of you.

Dodie, Jimmy, Charlie, Mike, Tim, and Peggy,

I am sorry to hear about your father's death. Our family lived on the same street as yours in Taylors. When you moved to NJ, we moved into your house. When I learned that your father was living at Tega Cay, I reconnected with him about ten years ago. I was working for my company's Rock Hill station. The last time I spoke to him was in August. I regret that I never had the opportunity to visit him before he died. He was kind to the other...

Jim,what a wonderful man your father was.I'm sure you all will dearly miss him,but what beautiful memories you must have, of the many family times that you shared. He also sounds like the perfect grandfather.You are in our thoughts and prayers.
