Rae Ellen and Family - It is with great sadness in hearing of Jim's passing. We considered him a dear friend of many years. Jim was a credit to our industry and leaves many friends. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We are spending our winters in FL now and regret we will not be able to attend the memorial. You will be in our thoughts that day for sure.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
