I am praying for you all in your time of loss, and celebrating with the angels that another saint is returned home to join them in joyous praise to the one who Saves Eternally and Heals Perfectly.

God Bless and Keep you all.

Our relationship with Jim is not over. It has only changed dimension. We keep talking to him and are not surprised to hear him answer. His spirit lives on so we continue to talk to him in our heart, knowing that only love can cross the abyss.

I offer my sympathies towards your family, and hope that peace can come from holding onto the promise we have in God through Jesus of seeing your dad again.

I only know Mr. Kerr through his son, but knowing how much he meant to his son is a strong illustration of what a great man he was. My prayers are with the Kerr family at this difficult time of loss.

I never had the privilege to meet or even interact with Mr. Kerr. But I would like to thank him for raising a fine Christian man. "Kerrlaw" is a shining example of a Christian husband and brother in Christ. Mr. Kerr, your legacy in Christ lives on. The Kerr family has my prayers and condolences.
