I was saddened to learn of Uncle Jim's death from my father. It has been far too many years since I had seen him, but I well remember his happy, easy going personality. I hope the spirit of the Lord will bring each of you, Ellen, Michelle, Kim, and Cheryl, peace, comfort, and an assurance of the reality of life eternal.

My dearest friend's daddy, how heavy our hearts at the passing of Jim. We have no words, just the promise that he is in a far better place, no pain, no suffering. Praying that the wonderful memories will provide comfort and healing for his many loved ones.
With much love and deepest sympathy,

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
