"Praise God uncle Jim is no longer in pain and at home with the Lord. However we will miss him. We love you, support you, and are praying for you aunt Martha, Eric, Kevin and family. I loved it when we'd visit and uncle Jim would prepare lunch for us and when I'd be in the area on business he'd greet me at the door with a hug. His hugs were just like uncle Ellsworth's and dad's. We love you all." Alan Jordan and family, Robin Jordan-Henry and family (Brattlebor, VT & Yellow Springs, OH)

My heart is heavy knowing that my Columbus family is grieving the loss of such a kind, and loving person as Uncle Jim. I so wish I could be there with you now. My prayers are that you are feeling the presence of God and that you know Uncle Jim is free of pain in heaven. Rest assured your memories of Jim will help you find comfort and the love he had for family will carry on with all of us.
