Oh Sharon and family!!! Our hearts break for you. Sharon, you and Jim have impacted so many lives and we are all grieving with you! Don't you just know, though, that Jesus met Jim at the pearly gates with a big ole fat smile! God knows his big heart and I'm sure he heard "well done, good and faithful servant!". What a wonderful legacy he leaves behind -- and so many will be in heaven because of his faithfulness to teach others about Christ. We will be praying for the peace only God can give you push through each day, one day at a time. Jesus made a way for us to just say "see you later" instead of goodbye, which we can all cling to. Sending you big hugs and lots of love. Love you and your family so much!

We surround you with love & caring, Sharon, hoping to somehow help ease the burden of your loss. We all loved Jim, & the way he supported & loved you. I especially appreciated the way he supported you as Peachtree Santa's Secretary, as you so diligently served on the Board with me. I felt like he was supporting all of us! He will be missed, & I want you to know we are all here for you, whatever you need. We love you.

Nancy and I have so many great memories with our brother-in-law Jim and Nancy´s sister Sharon. All the vacations and the holiday visits in Richmond and Cumming Georgia were always wonderful happy times. He was the best brother-in-law anyone could have. We will never forget someone who gave us so much to remember. His memory will be a blessing to all who knew him.
