Our condolences on the passing of Rev. Virden, a very kind and dedicated pastor on the Alabama South District Church of the Nazarene. He was a friend to many and a beloved pastor to his congregation. May his memory and spiritual legacy live on through his family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. I was fortunate to have him as a member of my family, but unfortunate in that he was somewhat a distant relative and I did not know him better than I did. I know he was a wonderfu, gentle soul who always had a smile on his face, the kind of person who just made you feel peaceful and comfortable when you were around him. I know he was a great blessing to his church family. Praying for peace and healing of your heart, Tina, we love you, and for the kids and grankids also. Barbie (Virden) and Charlie Stobaugh and family

Tina and family. You have been in our prayers since we heard about James' homegoing. Holten Heights lifted you and the church family up in prayer. James was a faithful pastor and loved the Lord and will be missed by all who was touched through his ministry. God bless you.
