Janice and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Way back in the day, growing up at Linden Church of Christ, you both were an important part of shaping my life. I am thankful for everything you taught me in class, from the pulpit and by living your lives as an example. I pray for your peace and that God bless and keep you even closer right now.

Denise and I will see you on the other side. Your time of suffering on this earth is done and you are now safely in the loving arms of God where you have heard "Well done my good and faithful servant!"

I met Jim Dempsey in 2002, when he was an associate minister at Worthington Christian Church (Columbus, Ohio). He immediately impressed me with his faith in Jesus and his dedication to Jesus' cause. I'm sure his reward in Heaven is great. Condolences to Janice and to the rest of the family.

Mr. Dempsey was such an important person in my life. He baptized me and married my husband and I 35 years ago. He was not just a friend but part of our family. I have wonderful memories of Mr. Dempsey and his family camping with us in Colorado...letting me pretend to drive the school bus and he would even turn on the microphone in the church so I could preach to a pretend congregation. I love you Mr. Dempsey and will miss you but I know that someday I will see you again in heaven!!!
