Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear about your lost. He was a great guy to everyone.

It's been so long since I've seen you, Jimmy, that I can still picture you sitting up on the highest limb of the climbing tree in our yard. You got so involved in our games that you even tried to eat one of those famous mudpies we made behind the outhouse. Am glad we caught you before you did, because you lived to have a lovely family. How I wish I could see you all again! I want to tell your entire family how sorry I am for them that you had to leave this soon. If I find any of those...

From Jimmy's relatives in Virginia, we will miss you so. There was so much more to share but the Lord called you home. Dear Jimmy you gave us such strength and faith during your final days. It was you that we leaned on because of your belief in the Lord Almighty. May your family be comforted in this time of mourning that you are now in Heaven and will be looking over us until we meet again. May all that we do be done in God's name...Amen
