Dear Donna,

Steve and I are shocked and sad about the news of Jim's passing. We enjoyed our time with you in Williamsburg, and wish we'd gotten to spend more time with you. Our love and prayers are with you and your family. We will see you at the memorial service. With love, Jan Jones

Dear Donna and family,
We were shocked to hear of Jim's death. We have such fond memories of him at Trinity. He and Warren had such fun while Jim taught Warren to fly remote control planes! Our fondest memory will be our weekend at Lake Gaston (or almost weekend, as he had to be back for Sunday services) and Jim on the Innertube behind the ski boat! His smile and laughter was contagious.
We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Please call if you need...

Donna,Angela,Michael,Keith,Karolynn and Families.I was so very sorry to hear about the death of Jim. I have so many fond memories of our children growing up on Tyndall Dr. in Gloucester Point. Shannon called to let Sharon know about Jim's passing away and we were so appreciative of this. Please contact me if there is anything that I can do. I am retired and live at the same place on Tyndall. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Barbara Conner

Donna and Family,
I hope you will not mind an email response. Jim and a number of us shared breakfast and occasional golf in Virginia Beach when Jim was at Oak Grove and I was at Salem. His smile and friendliness and always great humor was a blessing to me and so many.
We cannot imagine your shock and sorrow.It is a great loss to so many.
My prayers have been and continue to be with you all.
Jim and Linda Mahaffey

To the Ward family,

I want to believe that Jim didn't pass away; instead, I'd like to believe he's out on the back nine, waiting to finish an under-par 18 holes. Jim was a true gentle person; he had a good word for everyone. May God Bless him and his family....he went all too soon.

Dear Donna,

We are so sorry about Jim's death. We are writing to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We had many good times together on mission trips, and on the Norfolk District, and speaking in your churches in northern Virginia. You have been very special friends for us. Now we pray God's blessings on you through this very difficult time.

Love,

Walt and Betty Whitehurst

To the Ward family. I am so sorry to learn about this sad time in your lives. It has been a very long time since we have seen each other but some friends make such an impact on our lives that we just never forget them!! I think of your family all the time and wish that we could get together again for a visit. I am sorry that I will be out of town for work during the last two weeks of July. Feel free to call when you feel better. 757-397-4195. I will be thinking and praying for your entire...

Donna and family,
You are all in our prayers. Nancy andI were shocked when Bob called to relay the news that Jim had died suddenly. He was a good friend and will be dearly missed.
