Prayers for consolation and peace to the entire Campbell family. Although we were not formally family, we knew them as Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Joan and loved them as well as their sons Wayne and Billy and their families as our family.
I will always carry in my heart the memories made growing up with the Campbell family whether it be times at the lodge with Uncle Jimmy trying to teach us to fish or to row a boat or hearing him reassure me that I had nothing to fear from the deer head on the wall. His was always a comforting presence to me and I am so grateful for that.
Lifting up Aunt Joan in prayer. She helped me though the death of my parents, their life long dear friends from the Air Force days, Charlie and Marilyn. May Aunt Joan and all of the family feel the grace that flows from our prayers for them. Let us hold in our hearts that Uncle Jimmy is with Marilyn and Charlie and that all of us will be reunited in eternity one day.
Rest in eternal peace and May perpetual light shine upon Uncle Jimmy.

It's been far too many years, but I have such incredibly fond memories of our families spending time together all those years ago; such wonderful, genuine, caring and gracious dear friends. My love and condolences to Aunt Joan and the entire Campbell family. May God bring comfort in this time of loss and joy over time yet to come of the many wonderful memories
