Not sure what to say?

Dear Tozer family,
I know this may be a little unusual but I rejoiced and shed a tear of joy when I heard of Jim's going to Heaven. What a warrior for Jesus he was and now he has joined the Heavenly throng. I look forward to the day he will welcome his fellow believers into Christ's presence. He was always such a joy to see and he always made my day by his words and his smile. May God continue to bless you with His peace and comfort.

Dear Vivian,Lynn, David & Girls;
Nicole and I were very sad to read of Jim's passing. You are all in Our thoughts and prayers. We are well aware that Jim is sitting with God right now and going over his last book that he wrote here at Glen Lake. Thank-You so much for everything you did for us, and allowing us to call you, " Friends" God's Blessing To You All

With profound appreciation to Jim, his family, and the Covenant family for my baptism (1972), my time as a junior high leader, and my time as a ministry candidate under Jim's care (1974). Jim will continue to touch lives for generations to come.

Becky and I were members of Covenant Presbyterian during Jim's final years there before his retirement. Both of us appreciated his Christian witness, his personal kindness toward us, and his personal interest in us as individuals even though we were then part of a congregation of approximately 2000. We pray God will comfort the Tozer family at this difficult time as they mourn his physical death but rejoice at his heavenly arrival.
