During this time of great sorrow, may it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. I too know the pain of losing someone dear. Even though our hearts are broken, rest assure that our Grand Creator cares about you personally (1 Peter 5:7) and can help you through this difficult time. Revelation 21:4 speaks of a time soon when God will do away with death forever. There will be no more sorrow, heartache, or pain. May your happy memories and sure scriptural hope comfort your hearts during this painful time.

Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one James. It seems that life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the sources of truth the bible.God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE."The nine accounts of ones in the bible who were resurrected are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the billions of dead he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God!With the gift of your memories of James they will bring you great joy. When a loved one becomes a memory that memory turns into a treasure. May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (PSALMS 83-18)AgapeM.L.HURT

My prayers for Jim and his family. I will always remember the 4th of July picnic in Thompson 2 summers ago when some some of us sat at a picnic table talking. And also at a group meeting when Jim Played his guitar and sang. He is singing for the angels now. He will be greatly missed.

Jim, He was a good friend, will always remember the sing alongs with Jim playing his guitar. The pictures he would take of events, and him helping us put a roof on our garage, and the many discussions on life. He will be missed dearly. He had such a great smile and good outlook on life.

I hold many years with Jim as dear to my heart! There were the whitewater rafting trips, the guitar sing-a-longs, many get togethers with friends for hikes and "breakfasts in the parks". There really are too many to list! Most importantly were the discussions about his belief in Jesus Christ, and the life after this! He was an inspiration! I will miss you my friend!To Jim's family. to all of you, I am so sorry for your loss of Jim! My prayers surround you! Hold close those memories that provide comfort, and a smile! He loved each and everyone of you and would not have become the endearing person that he was without having been touched in some way by your love for him. God hold you all close in this time of sorrow! In sympathy, Elaine Foster
