Family of James "Jim" Routson;
Jimmy, as we knew to him, was a great man of God. We recently moved to Loudon from California and Jimmy put in our lovely lawn. We had many discussions on our back porch about landscape as well as our shared faith in the Messiah. Our visits to the hospital and praying with our dear brother will be in our memory forever. Jim has perfect hearing now and we look forward to spending eternity together. May God bless his family at this time of grief.
Bernie and Marianne
