I waited on Mr. Thomas at IU Health West Hospital many times and he was such a joy!! He was so kind and always offered words of encouragement even when he was not well. He was always very thankful and polite! I will miss his smiling face and sweet personality. God bless his family.

Dear Connie,
Ernie and I are incredibly saddened after hearing of Jim's passing. You and Jim were the first people to welcome me and my mom to AUMC years ago. I loved working with Jim on the Worship Team as well. I have treasured knowing both of you, and I pray that Jesus will comfort and strengthen you during this time. In Christ's Love,

Connie,
We were so sorry to hear about Jim's death. It was so great to see you both at the John Knox 50th anniversary celebration. Our prayers are with you and all your family.
