Mrs. Pippin, I went all through grade and high school in Chance-Loeb/Lumberton with Jimmy and was on the Cubs Little League team with him, while his father, Mr. Pippin assisted Norman Condray coaching us boys. A mutual classmate informed me of Jimmy's passing into glory with Jesus. Haven't seen Jimmy since our class reunion in 1984, but will always remember him. May the Lord give you peace as only He can.

Dear Brenda, I just heard of Jimmy's passing. You and I have never met, but my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your children. Donnie and I were good friends in school, she even picked up my children and took them to sunday school. My sister Wanda Gayle Williams Rogers was friends with Jan. We both remember Jimmy as a young sweet boy.

Dear Brenda and Family,

I wanted you to know that our hearts are with you. Even though we are not in Lumberton anymore we have always thought about all of you and have often talked about all of the momories that we have of your family. I love telling my own children about the fun things that we did with Brandon and Courtney while growing up. Brother Jimmy was a wonderful person. We pray that the Lord gives you the strength and peace that you will all need to get through the loss of this wonderful person. God Bless You All!!!

I first met Jimmy Pippin when our kids played on opposing teams in Little League. When it came time to pick a coach to help with All-Stars, there was no one better to help lead young men than Jimmy. Brent, Brenda, it was an honor to work/coach with your father/husband. Everyone who came into contact with Jimmy truly respected him. May God Bless & Keep You.

My heart grieves for your loss. Brenda you've always been a great Godly lady, and a good friend since our teen years. I know God will help you. It is only natural to ask "why" anytime a loved one dies, but we have to trust in our God who sees all, knows all, and loves us all with more love than we can comprehend. My prayers are for you and your precious family.
