Our prince will soon return to care for all of us ,as he delighted. James and Mary Lane naturally love the congregation as their own family. We carry the torch of pure worship burning brightly ; they left in our hands. They wanted to be sure we stay on the path to paradise ;so we can rejoice with the miracle of the resurrection. What a gift from Jehovah to have such precious friends in our heart forever. Eternity is their reward for the work and love they show for Jehovah´s name. Heb 6:10.
Warm Christian Love, Sandy Wirfs

Brother Tooke was a sweet person. Always ready to share the truth. He made time to talk to you. Advice given with sincerity and a scripture to back it up. A beautiful smile! Once we asked him how to make a new marriage a success.
He replied simply, yet seriously, "you must have two good forgivers" He was right! Our marriage is thriving. Looking forward to that day when he will be smiling, as he wakes up, like Lazarus back to life. The Real Life we all await. Lets all of us keep your eyes on the prize. Brother Tooke we miss you! See you soon.
Christian love,
Tiger and Tammy Porter

Debbie and Glenn, many prayers are being said in you folks behalf. We love both of you dearly. The next voice your dad will hear (which may sound a lot like his - I always loved your dad's voice) will be ..."JAMES HAROLD TOOKE ... RISE!" You will be there. Meanwhile as Romans 12:12 says, we rejoice in the hope. Glenn Misty Haley Grant Greta Gary Catherine Jeremy Dot Gerald and Violet ... Methvin. ❤

I have always treasured the wisdom and the friendship of Brother Tooke. He was a true friend in good times and troubled times. A true "PRINCE " in the context of Isaiah 32:2.

MaryLane, Deb & Glenn, y'all are in my thoughts and prayers... Jehovah WILL comfort and sustain y'all through this pain. James was a true brother and spiritual father-figure for me. He always made me feel special and welcomed. Joy and camaraderie were hallmarks of working with him. Our serving in Administration at District Conventions at the Cajundome were a highlight. I truly long for the day I get to welcome him and that huge smile back again... the ravages of sickness and death a distant memory. Love to you all, Charles Fournet.

I appreciated his counsel. He is dear to my heart. Mary McKay
