We shocked and saddened to hear that Jim had passed away. Though we didn't know each other well he was "home folks" to us and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during the coming days.

Marilyn and family. I so enjoyed my acquaintance with The two of you at Palm Valley Church. Jim was such a bright spot in my Sunday morning experience.. His smile, robust greeting was often the high point of my day! God bless you all as you journey on. Glenda Garza
