James H. Whitehurst was a good soldier, and an even better man, Jim went to his final posting beyond the starry strand, There his final commendation proclaimed,"Well done thou good and faithful servant" Rest In Peace, Jim.

Jim, I will forever remember your warm smile and friendly laugh. It was completely evident to my how devoted you were to Elsbeth. We should all be so lucky to have a love like yours. Rest in Peace.
