Sandy: Judy and I are sorry to hear of your loss and we pray for the comfort of the Holy Spirit for you during this trying time.
We have many pleasant memories of Jim and how He related to our family some 40 years. He truly was a friend and fellow brother in Christ. I can't count the number of times He and I played golf together and how much He taught me during our time together. He truly was a great person.
Jim gives us one more reason to want to go to heaven, and He along with many loved ones await our arrival and won't we have a wonder reunion when that time comes.

I'm sorry to hear about Jim. I remember going to church as a child and being greeted by his smile and a life saver, I called him the candy man. You both have touched my life. He will be missed! You are in my prayers.

Sandy, I'm sorry to hear about Jim, but he has a new body and will not have any more pain. It will be hard, but if I can make it, you can too.
My love, Ruth

What a nice man! I know a lot of kids (now adults) that grew up at First Assembly that thought of him as their "Best Buddy". He always had candy for them.
